Paola's home was as described in the listing and extremely clean. Her friend Patrizia checked us in, and was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Rome. I would advise you leave yourself at least an hour for the check in process as the introduction was quite extensive. The location was good if you are planning to base your activities out of the termini train station, termini was about a 15-20 min walk for us each day. We liked the local vibe we got and the yummy food nearby. We also always felt safe in the neighborhood even when coming back later in the evening. If you are looking to be in the middle of the city's "action" or main sights this isn't the right location for you. The room was extremely noisy, even with ear plugs we struggled to get a decent night's sleep. Overall fair value.
