Federica was very responsive with questions I had before and after my booking. Her husband Manuel picked us up nearby termini station, we just needed to drop him a text to let him know what time we would be arriving. He greeted us with a big smile and wave. He drove us around the local area to point out nice eateries, where to buy public transport tickets, the local metro station etc.
The room was a lovely size, spacious and clean. Made use of the free Netflix. There were water bottles and juice in the fridge for us, complimentary and a few different flavours of tea. We had a piece of chocolate left on our pillows but as these contained liquor Manuel was kind enough to make a special effort of coming back a couple of days later with a box of chocolates for us! The location was max 10min walk to the nearby metro station, walking leisurely. 10 min walk to colloseum.
It was really nice to have breakfast at the coffee shop next door. We were given a sweet breakfast on Sunday morning as the coffee shop is closed but I wasn't a fan of it, it was too sweet. I would probably have preferred biscuits.
Another point was out of federica's control but our neighbours were clearly jet lagged as we could here them chatting away and watching TV at 3.30am. The 2nd night of this I knocked on their door and they very kindly reduced the noise. The main road is extremely noisy with drivers popping the horn constantly so make sure you shut the windows and shutters and use AC instead if you are hot. Overall great location, great room, great hosts
