Reviews of San Giovanni Garden House
Łukasz from Poland (10/10)

Svetozar from Bulgaria (10/10)
This is a quiet residential area, with places frequented by locals. No tourist traps, just authentic Roman life, with reasonable prices and home feel. There is a market just under the building (some noise is possible), there is a bakery for a nice breakfast and a coffee. Metro C is 150 m away and Metro A – 500 m. away. There is direct transport to Trastevere (a tram, which was substituted by a bus during our stay, which was out of commission on one of the days due to a marathon). I like to have the keys handed over by a person and not left in a box. The personal communication can add some local feeling and enrich the experience. The communication was excellent throughout the period before the arrival and the whole stay. Kudos!

Great location!
Azemi from Kosovo (10/10)
The San Giovanni Garden House was a perfect apartment for our stay in Rome! The neighborhood is safe, clean, and you have everything you need in a walking distance. The metro line is perfect. The rooms are very clean, with everything you may need. Francesco the host was very very helpful with everything! 🙂
Wenshen from China (9/10)
There is a market downstairs in the morning where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Quiet neighborhood although not perfectly neat. Very close to Lodi metro station where you can transfer to Line A at San Giovanni connecting most of the attractions.
Jeffrey from United States (9/10)
Two beds AND two bathrooms are great when you’re traveling with teens. Convenience was great once we discovered it was steps from Lodi stop on Metro Linea C. Very quiet, air conditioning worked well. Great neighborhood for feeling like you’re really among Romans.
Adriana from Romania (10/10)
An excellent place to stay in Rome away from the tourist crowds. Subway either around the corner or 5mins away makes getting anywhere easy. Plenty of options to grab something to eat or buy groceries and even a fresh produce market right outside the building.
Apartment was very clean with everything we needed. Hosts were kind to let us in early and helpful throughout our stay.Ellie from United States (9/10)
Excellent location. The room was clean. Nicely furnished. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed. The host was prompt and very helpful. The host accommodated us for early check-in, as our flight arrived over an hour earlier than the scheduled time. We enjoyed our stay!
