Giuseppe was at the door of his apartment 30 minutes before our agreed-upon arrival, which was a great help, as I arrived earlier than I thought I would. He remained in touch throughout my stay both via e-mail and via text messages. The apartment is a small studio in a gated compound perfectly furnished for a short stay: there is a terrace as shown in the photo, if you want to use it, and the small kitchen is fully furnished. In general, the apartment is immaculate, well laid out, and there is enough closet space. Giuseppe also provided a portable fan, which was more than adequate in Rome in August. The apartment is by "Viale Glorioso", a famous staircase near the crest of the Janiculum Hill. The views from the hill are unsurpassed, especially in the early morning and the Fontana dell' Aqua Paola is one of the most beautiful in Rome. Down the hill, nearby Viale Trastevere has many cafes that open early and close late, as well as several "Mini Markets" where groceries of all sorts can be bought for those times when a visitor doesn't want to go to a restaurant and wants to eat either on the terrace or on the dining table in the studio. This was my fourth trip to Rome over the last 25-30 years, and I have to say it was the best, because the apartment was removed from the bustle of the sights everyone goes to Rome to see, but it was within reach of them via public transportation or in my case, on foot.
