I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Gabriella and Fausto are amazing hosts - Italian hospitality is second to none! Lunches, walks in the park, offers to drive me places, restaurant recommendations, they couldn't do more for me! Gabriella is an amazing cook too. If you're looking for a 'local' (not touristy) experience, come here! Perhaps a bit out of the way, but for me it was exactly the experiencr I was looking for, and it's well connected anyway.
To get to the center, take bus 63 (stop is right outside the house) to Jonio and get the metro (to Laurentina), takes around 45 mins. You can also get the same bus straight to Piazza Valenzia or Fontana di Trevi in 45 mins, as the metro closes at 11.30, and Rome is so much better at night.
