I had the pleasure of staying at Giovanna's for 6 weeks while teaching a summer class. The apartment served as the perfect retreat after either a day of teaching or a day of sightseeing. The location was incredibly convenient, and it was walking distance to most of the big tourist sights. The food and nightlife in Trastevere is also great! It can get a bit noisy at night, but if you close the shutters it blocks out pretty much all the noise. Giovanna was a fantastic host, and she helped make my 6 weeks in Rome perfect!
