This was our first visit to Rome and our host John couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived relatively late in the evening and he made us totally welcome, with maps, tips and ideas about what to do and where to go for our 3 days. He also filled the fridge with a few basics & continued to give us print-outs daily with useful ideas of places to visit and where to eat. He was also very forgiving when we managed to lose our keys at the Vatican! The apartment itself is small and snug with a shower, kitchen and a sofa bed that has to be folded back in the day for room. There is also a mezzanine bed above but we would say it is really just for couples. The big plus is it is very close to the metro station in a safe area and extremely handy and quick for transport in and out of the main areas you'd want to visit. Overall, not luxury but good value for a short stay.
