I booked the room, only two days before I arrived and Giovanni was very helpful and answered my request and questions, surprisingly swiftyl. He was very helpful in explaining how to get to his place. Once I got there, I was charmed with his enthusiasm with the room. He has spent quite some time refurbishing the room and it shows. During my stay, the room felt like a calm oasis.

The apartment is on a beautiful street and I really felt as though I was living on a real street in Rome. It’s also quite close to the major attractions in Rome. I walked to the Parthenon and the Colosseum.

I didn’t see or hear much from Giovanni However, I felt that, if needed, he would help me with what ever query I had. Going by my impression, Giovanni is a mild mannered man who you would love to stay with.

My only complaint might be that the mattress in the room isn’t built for heavyset people (I’m a 100+ kgs (220lbs). If I moved, I would bottom out the springs on the mattress. However, in fairness the mattress would be great for 80% of the population.

Taking all that into account, I was very pleased with Giovanni and my stay in Rome.
