This was the first time that I'd stayed in a "room" inside someone's house--I typically book an entire flat. And I really enjoyed it--I had my own mini suite of rooms, in fact--bedroom, bathroom, and entry way all to myself, and in addition was able to share the kitchen and living room. The place itself is on a pretty busy road, but I never heard any noise at all at night. From the other side of the building, you look out onto a large field over to the hills beyond and the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca. It's nice to sit on the balcony and look out over the view. The place is just a 20-minute walk from the train station, and about that far to the Two Towers, with plenty of bars and restaurants to sample along the way.
I didn't get to see Anna, but her daughter was very nice, communicated well with me, and was very responsive. It was a lovely place to stay.
