From the room you got easy access to either public transport or walking throughout Rome. We are quite active so avoided using public transport too much, but you are at the colloseum and palentine in 10-15 minutes and the vatican takes about 30-40 minutes. The room is clean and if you stay longer the host tends to you getting new towels. You have access to a coffee machine and a fridge on the hall-way. If you just wanna check out Rome and have an apartment close to the action, it's perfect.
