We very much enjoyed our stay in Giuseppe's Rome apartment. Excellent location, excellent accommodations! Giuseppe met us right when we arrived, offered to help us carry up our bags, thoroughly showed us around the apartment, and sent a list of personal recommendations for nearby restaurants. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is stocked for meals at home. The apartment is in an ideal extremely ideal location for exploring - easy walking distance to the Pantheon, Colosseum, Forum, Roman Steps, Trevi Fountain, Jewish Ghetto, and much more! Right around the corner, you can catch a bus or a taxi and there is a convenient mini-mart located right next door. We very much enjoyed being based in this apartment and give our highest recommendations for it!
A few things to be aware of (these are not at all to be taken negatively, but just for your information):
-The apartment is located right across the way from a small church that rings its bells every morning and evening. We found it charming, but if you're trying to sleep in past 7am, this will serve as an alarm clock!
-Giuseppe's apartment has a washing machine, which is very convenient. We learned that in Italy, machine run times are longer than most machines in the US, so plan accordingly to allow time to hang dry your items.
-The water pressure in the shower is on the light side, but the hot water works great and doesn't run out.
-The apartment is located on the top floor of the building (no elevator). Lots of steps, but you're rewarded with a nice view!
Our many thanks to Giuseppe for being a great host! You won't regret planning a stay at his place. Ciao!
