We have just come back from a partly rainy/partly sunny short week in Rome and Giovanni's flat was perfect.
Giovanni was very easy to get in touch with both before and during our stay (even when we locked ourselves out of the house!).
The flat is roomy and confortable and the area had everything we needed.
The flat has quick access on foot to the city center (we took the subway to the flat when we arrived but didn't use any other public transportation for the rest of the week, we even walked back to the station with our luggage to enjoy a last stroll through Rome).
And Monti (the area) is great, everything you need from small bars frequented by Italians, pizza places, restaurants and gelaterie plus a couple mini-markets for essentials.
It was altogether a really nice stay!
We will be back.
