Our stay at Melanie's apartment was great! The San Giovanni neighbourhood is beautiful – there are two supermarkets and lots of wonderful restaurants nearby. It was always surreal seeing the Colosseum just down the street. It is the perfect location.

Melanie was a great host and very attentive. When we needed another set of sheets to switch to the downstairs futon, she provided them within a day. It can be a bit noisy (because the window is next to the street) and humid (because it's below street level and we were there in rainy season) but otherwise it was lovely. The apartment had good heating, reliable wi-fi, TV, and all towels and bedding were provided. Melanie replied to our emails very quickly and was very helpful. I'd recommend her place!
