Cottage was cute and looked like the pictures. However, it was not as clean as we would have liked (sheets did not feel very clean and furniture was a little sticky). Hence we did not feel 100% relaxed while staying here. Also the cottage is more like a granny flat rather than in an apt complex (which is what we were expecting) so we never saw anyone else in the area or on our street.

Location IS in the center of Rome but on arrival, it was not exactly what we were expecting - it felt like the outskirts, probably because this is sort of an up and coming hip area. It turned out to be fine once we figured out the bus routes and I can imagine it to be a nice area to live in, but for a first time tourist to Rome it felt like it was far from all the action. And at night it was a little scary getting from the main parts of Rome to the cottage as the cottage is in a very quiet area with little human or car traffic.

It is very close to the collosseum and in the day time its actually a nice neighborhood along the main road but on first impression and at night it is a little intimidating to walk to the apartment.

Diletta was very responsive and a great host - and the apt should be fine if you are a couple (and not afraid of the quiet streets) and have access to google maps so you can figure out the bus routes to all the main sites (as other than the collosseum you will need to bus it into the main city area with Trevi Fountain/Spanish Steps/Pantheon etc). But this might be for any accommodation as Rome is a sprawling city.
