We recently returned from our vacation in Rome where we rented Ilaria's apartment near San Giovanni. We had a great time and absolutely enjoyed the experience of living as locals, even if only for a week.
The apartment is clean, convenient and super comfortable. It's walking distance to bus and subway lines and there's an awesome outdoor market right outside. We did our grocery shopping there every morning!
We had the chance to meet and briefly chat with Ilaria and her parents when we arrived. After showing us around and giving us info and tips about the apartment they left us to enjoy our stay. The beds were super comfy, we had plenty of hot water, the Wifi was speedy and hassle-free...it was a totally great experience and we would've loved to have stayed much longer.
I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone, especially families with children. There's a courtyard where our son enjoyed running a bit and there's a playground within walking distance where he played with other Italian children almost every day. And the market was such a fun place to explore! Tons of fun!
