Hosts are welcoming! It can be difficult to communicate if you're unable to speak Italian, but they do know a little English (enough to answer your check-in questions). Cleanliness is superb; only concern is the bugs that come inside due to the hot weather outside. Expect to bend over in the bedroom and bathroom often if you are over 5 feet as the ceilings are sloped. The private balcony is a plus and can be used as a terrific way to end your day while eating Antonio's pizza (across the street) accompanied with a bottle of wine after playing tourist! Location is very close to the Tor Sapienza train station. Once you are on the train, you will need to look for the ticket collector to purchase a ticket before s/he finds you, otherwise, there is a 50 euro fine if you are found without a ticket. Expect to allocate about 2 hours for travel time via public transportation once you understand how it works.
