Giovanni was such a wonderful host! He met us when we arrived at the building to show us to the unit, and had great local tips waiting from restaurants to his favorite coffee shop in the Trastevere area. It was a perfect retreat to come back to after a long day of tourist activities and exploring! We had debated between staying in Trastevere or somewhere more central to the tourist sites. We 100% made the right choice in Trastevere. We still walked everywhere (with exception of the Vatican which we cabbed to), and the neighborhood was so charming that we loved walking all of the streets any time of day. The bars and cafes are very lively, and it really felt like a place where we could live as locals.
Thank you Giovanni for allowing us to stay in your place! We highly recommend!
