We were very lucky to stay at Erica's home on our first visit to Rome. The location is residential, quiet, peaceful and close to Villa Borghese where you can spend a whole day wandering in a beautiful park (there's also the museum too). It's a good walking distance (5-10 minutes) to the tram or bus which will take you to the centre in 30 minutes or less. Erica gave us great tips on public transit, such as a €18 transit pass valid for 3 days (bus, metro, tram) which made our quick visit more enjoyable. Clean home, big room, and awesome rainfall showerhead (mind that the hot water takes a bit to reup between showers). We never met Erica but was greeted by her extremely hospitable friend Luigi. Highly recommend.
