Giuseppe's place is in an EXCELLENT location - right around the corner from the Pantheon it is in the heart of the old city. You walk right out of the building and you have the city at your footsteps.
Yes it is up five floors but the floors are shorter than most American buildings and you get used to it eventually. The apartment is perfect for a solo traveler or two people. Giuseppe left tons of items for breakfast (juices, yogurts, pastries, coffee) and let me check in early -- when he could not come to let me in - his father came to check me in. WiFi worked very well. Little to no noise.
