The stay at Giovanni’s place was overall a great experience for two travelers in Rome. His apartment is in a great location right outside of the main attractions. There is a local train station a block away, several bus stops around the area and only a 20-30 minute walk to Trastevere. Giovanni is very friendly and helpful. The only notes I must make is that Rome is a very alive city so it does become loud early in the morning being on a relatively busy street. The bed is also a tad springy and could potentially be uncomfortable for some. Overall, being young and active travelers, we experienced no true problems and recommend staying with Giovanni!
