Unfortunately Silvia was sick during our trip to Rome, but she made sure to have someone there to meet us in her place. The house turned out to be quite a bit bigger than the pictures make it out to be and it's in a gated area, so you have that little bit of extra security compared with people staring in your window from the street.
The only bad thing about the location: If you want to sleep in, there are church bells around 8am and 9am. Good luck not being woken by them!
