Raffaella's place is exactly as seen in the pictures.
It's a little far away from the tourist attractions but getting around is not a problem because there is a tram just 5 minutes away from her place which takes you directly to Termini station. (15 minutes) From there it's very simple to travel to all parts of Rome via metro or bus.
Raffaella is very professional, she sent me a set of instructions the very day I booked her place, with all the help I'd need to find my way to her place from the airport. The self check in (using a lock box) is really smart and convenient.
There are two rooms in the house, but during our stay the other room was unoccupied, so we had the entire place to ourselves.
The place is clean and well maintained. The heating for the place is central and cannot be changed as per preference. (this was a little tricky for me, since I came from 35 degrees hot temperature, so it was a little chilly for me for the first night, but I got accustomed to it quickly).
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Raffaella, because she was travelling for work, but I'm sure I'll be back and I'd be sure to stay at her place.
All in all, a very pleasant experience. :)
