Giuseppe's place is in a great location to get around Rome because it is a ten minute walk from the Tiburtina station, which connects pretty much anywhere you'd want to go. There are also shops and food places within 5 minutes walking from the apartment. The place is not in a particularly picturesque part of Rome (about 30 minutes via public transportation from central Rome), but for the value and location it is definitely worth a stay. Giuseppe was a flexible host -- he let my friend check in before I got to the house, and he let us keep our luggage at his place for about 5 hours after our check-out time so that we wouldn't have to carry it around Rome until our flight. Some downsides: the bed mattress is a little bit hard, and the shower took a long time to get warm the first night. Some upsides: great location, good value, good host, and a decent balcony to enjoy some drinks and conversation.
