Host was great. Responsive and helpful. The space downstairs was efficient, the sofa bed very comfortable. The design of the space made everything work (might be tough for a couple over 6 feet tall) The deck in September was the big bonus. It felt private, we enjoyed the views and the sound of the school children at play nearby. We liked the fact that we were around local people and close to tourist attractions. We could have stayed and wandered through Rome for a week. Maybe next year!
