We arrived late due to flying easyjet (sigh) but Luca was ready for us (he lives in the same building). English was a little limited but he explained the basics and seemed nice enough. He provided a map for us which was awesome and became our bible during our stay. The location is really the best thing about this place - you are right opposite the roman forum, quite a bit of history (though note the main entrance is about a 10-15 min walk). The apartment itself is quite basic and functional. Staying in winter, we had the heater on almost the entire time we were indoors. The mezzanine bedroom was quite a laugh - the stairs are very small and steep, if you are a big person I'd say you'd have trouble getting up them. Once at the top, I could comfortably stand (am about 5'4" I think) where as my husband (who is 5'10") had to stoop. Personally I found it hilarious but others may not! The bed is hard as a rock and the pillows flat (though there are spares in the downstairs cupboard). I like a soft bed, and after all the walking we did each day it would have been good. The bed is also two singles pushed together, so if you roll a lot in your sleep you may find they separate a bit. We didn't use the kitchen much other than breakfast and wine but it seemed to have everything you'd need. Same with the bathroom, however the shower is a strange shape and the water runs cold fairly quickly. Ours was a short stay and I imagine it would be quite different in summer. The circus maximus or coliseum stops would be closest metros, both about 10-15 min walk. Many attractions in walking distance (up to 40 min) but after multiple days of this our feet were dying! Supermarkets are around, but a bit of a walk. Nice enough place, good if just using as a base.
