Giovanni's place is simple, far from town however. I have been to Rome many times and looking at a map, I figured it wasn't so far away from my favorite restaurants in Trastevere, but then when I attempted to walk with my bags (from termini station, mind you) I kept getting dead ends, or huge staircases. I didn't realize there was a divide with elevation gain on the side where his house was. So that was a bit of a surprise. The room itself is simple and sweet. Love that there is a private bathroom. Though my shower was freezing cold, so that was a bummer. Host was not entirely friendly to us and refused the use of his kitchen, even though it was a holiday and no restaurants were open. Host seemed mad that we were two or so hours late for check in (check in is at 3) but things happen and we got lost with those weird roads, as I mentioned before because we were on foot and cannot use the phone without wifi. Maybe he had an off day! I would stay here again before needing to go to the airport in the morning, but not as a place to stay for my time in Rome.
