Marisa and her husband were great hosts and I enjoyed my stay very much! The place was clean, had powerful AC!! (hard to find in Italy it seems) and they gave us a voucher for each morning to have free breakfast at a cafe nearby that included a pastry, coffee and juice. The place is close to attractions especially the colosseum and palatine hill/roman forum. Its also close to the train station. We walked to most places and were able to go back to our room to rest and cool in the AC as it was super hot outside in July. There is a small fridge out in the common area that you can use to cool your drinks and a small table with tea. Marisa is very sweet and let us leave our luggage at the place after we checked out and met us when we went to get our luggage before leaving Rome. They don't speak very much English but are very nice and friendly and definitely tried their best to communicate with us/help us/make sure we were satisfied with everything. Great place and value :)
