Staying in Silvio's space was just an okay experience.

Silvio himself was very easy to deal with and quick to respond to any messages. He's very chatty and friendly.

The space had the essentials but didn't really offer much else; its a pretty old/rough apartment. The second bedroom's ceiling is only about four-and-half feet high (!!!) which was extremely awkward as I'm 5' 10". I literally crawled on all fours to get in and out of the bedroom. The "beds" in the second bedroom were actually cots and very uncomfortable as well.

I agree with most reviews that you can't walk to anything. Even Travestere is a solid 20 minutes away (uphill on the way back).

Silvio also only provides one key no matter how many guests.

I will say that for Rome this is a very affordable option. If you're on a tight, tight budget than this is for you. Otherwise I'd look for something better situated.
