Giovanni's place is just like the listing, it could not be closer to the subway unless it were in the station. The apartment building is fenced and gated which didn't feel necessary for the neighbourhood but you're just that much safer. We also could not figure out the washing machine, but the air conditioning was very nice on a hot summer day. The TV stations are in Italian so we just streamed off the WiFi it worked fine. All in all I would recommend takes only a few minutes to get to the sights by subway and it's a very quiet area. One tip avoid early morning trains we missed ours because the subway doesn't start until 6:00 am which picked us up at 6:24 am (first pickup) and we missed our 6:30 am train. Nothing to do with the apartment just for your information it's a Metro problem.
