Giovanni's place is truly in an ideal location. We had never visited Rome before, and did not have a car. We were able to easily walk to sites in all directions, which we found extremely valuable and important. Repeatedly we found ourselves so lucky to be in such a central location - we walked to the Colosseum, Pantheon, Campo di Fiori market, Piaza Nuvona, Trastavere and the Jewish Ghetto area. We did take a bus to the Vatican, but only because our feet were tired by that point. We could have walked. Giovanni's friend was right there to greet us when we arrived, which was a big relief to us. The apartment is very nice and comfortable. The courtyard of this ancient building, complete with an amazing door, was lovely. Our wifi was a little spotty, but we managed and did not find it crucial. We loved the place and were so glad to have the opportunity to stay there. The apartment seemed well supplied but due to time constraints we never actually made a meal in it.
