Silvano's place is great. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the room was much bigger than I expected and the mattress super comfy. The flat is located close to Trastevere station with various tram and train lines to the city centre and all the sights. Silvano's wife welcomed me and gave me a huge list of things to do and restaurants to eat at and really took time to tell me about the Rome she likes. The restaurant just below the flat is definitely worth a try by the way (booking recommended).
Only thing I wasn't aware of was that the bathroom to this room has to be accessed through the shared kitchen - not a big deal but I was a bit surprised and took some getting used to. All in all though I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a place a bit further away from all the touristy areas.
