Unfortunately we visited Giovanni's place in the midst of a major construction project that was taking place in the apartments both beside and below. This meant that there was a lot of yelling, banging, sawing, dust, etc. and we weren't really able to use the apartment in the day time (or morning). I did mention this to Giovanni (who genuinely seemed not to know that this was happening) but I really didn't feel like he responded as best he could - he basically said that all he can do is say sorry. I think this was really unfortunate, and I would have given a better review if the situation was handled differently.

That aside, the location is great, the apartment was relatively clean, and the woman who checked us in was great and offered some restaurant tips that worked out really well.
