Giovanni's place provided my wife and I with the perfect base to explore Rome in less than 48 hours. Since we were only staying two nights, the fact that this apartment was a 2 minute walk to the Colosseum meant we could tackle that attraction with ease. All the other attractions we easy to get to as well because the Colosse metro stop is so close. This is a really conveniently located apartment.

We found the apartment itself spacious and clean. It had everything we needed including a great air conditioning system, which, I imagine would come in handy during the warmer months.

The only drawback for us was the fact that the shower door was broken/missing. This meant that water would escape onto the bathroom floor whenever we used the shower. However, once that is fixed up that shouldn't really be an issue.

Although we didn't get to meet Giovanni personally, we were able to communicate with him to arrange everything - he even organised a friend of his to take us from the airport to his front door at a good price. Giovanni was also helpful in answering my questions during the stay itself.

All in all, this is a really convenient base which we think is great value!
