Gea was very friendly and helpful. She was out of town when we arrived and her friend met us there who didn't speak english but she told us this beforehand. My husband and I stayed there with my parents. The apartment is very homey. It is beautifully decorated, lots of books and everything you could need. The shower was great but unfortunately there didn't seem to be enough hot water for all four of us :( The neighbourhood was lovely and we enjoyed the local restaurant and their stuffed potatoes. We arrived at the central train station around 5pm and it took us about an hour on the bus to get to the apartment with the traffic. We didn't try figuring out the metro so took the taxi a bit and it wasn't too expensive. It was around a 30min walk to get to the main attractions, it is a little further out so we usually left the apartment for the day instead of coming back for a rest and going out again because it was too much time going back for a rest. But this is only because we were in Rome for too short a time and trying to fit a lot in! I would definitely stay at Gea's again and relax more in Rome because it was nice to be out of the tourist areas.
