I had a smooth and pleasant stay, no problems at all. The apartment is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The room, while not having a door as described in the ad, is quite private; Giuseppe made a conscious effort not to use it so I essentially had it to myself. Giuseppe is a very good host – easy to communicate with, speaks very good English, he even gave me a cake. I had some reservations about staying in a semi-private room; I was surprised how comfortable the experience actually was. The “price” you pay for staying in this apartment is about extra 20 minutes of travel time compared to an “ideal” location for seeing Rome, but you won’t find anything near this price range at an ideal location. Thoroughly recommended.
