We made a reservation based on the sparkling reviews, and indeed Loretta was an extremely welcoming host, very friendly, the language barrier was a bit tough though. However the flat is rather far away from Rome, wasted about 2 hours daily just to get to and fro since the transport links were unreliable, be prepared to climb a steep hill to get to the place. Shower was clean but small. We did not understand the reviews that highlighted the great breakfast. It was stale biscuits, bread, simple cereal and coffee/tea. Was not a huge problem, just a disappointment due to past reviews. Overall not bad, but could be better. Would not recommend if you're short on time.
