Giofranco's apartment is situated in a really nice area. The local pizzeria down the street was also a treat. The bus tickets were close by and the street was realtively quiet which was good to help us adjust to the time zones. Giofranco has excellent communication and goes out of his way to help you, like picking us up from the Piazza at 11pm. We had a few issues with the apartment but I think it was mainly us being sleep deprived and forgetting instructions - in regards to the washing machine, hot water and unlocking the front door. But all in all we highly recommend Giofranco's apartment if you're looking for a place of great value near the Vatican and a short bus trip to Rome.
