The host was very friendly and helpful. Gave us a lot of tips, maps and suggestions. The room was clean and in the center of Rome. Perfect location because it was walking distance to all the places we wanted to visit. Never took public transportation during our stay. The only negative was the hot water situation. You get about 15-20 minutes of hot water before it gets ice cold and there was 3 of staying there sharing a shower, other than that this place was perfect, highly recommend it!
