Go for it! Total privacy, comfort, and everything that you need to see Rome on the cheaper side, as we cooked our own food :) Also, Sheena's attentiveness to details was outstanding, you will see for yourself. The house manual (which I recommend to any host to create) plus the wifi were a real life saver. Once you get the hang out of the public transportation in Rome , you will be OK (Do not rent a car here). To sum it up: great host, great place!
