Charlotte's place was my home away from home. Perfectly located, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds of tourists (even in October!) all over Rome, but still within walking distance to the most well known sights in Rome, as well as some hidden gems (check out the nearby Ponte Sisto in Trastevere, especially at night!).
This home is brimming with character, featuring interesting knick knacks, furniture, literature and photos everywhere you look. You can tell that this is a real home, and not just somewhere that hosts guests. Perhaps this is why I had the best quality sleep staying there out of anywhere else during my trip in Italy.
Charlotte herself is what you would hope all hosts are like; she is attentive, friendly, intelligent and never at a loss for real, local recommendations for where to go or what to do next. This is not a hotel room; it is an authentic home, in an authentic neighbourhood, for an authentic Roman experience.
