First of all, being picked up from the airport after an evening flight and avoiding the whole business of having to sort out how you're going to get there is GREAT. This was actually what made us decide on this place over other places. I don't know if she does that for everyone but for us it was wonderful.

The place is a little out of the way. You can take a couple of buses to the thick of things, the 44 basically drops you at the end of the main shopping street in Rome and its pretty convenient... but I suppose in retrospect I would have liked to have been somewhere that didn't require a bus or a tram to get back to, as it is no fun when you get off in the wrong place at 10pm and have to sort yourself out. Also, over four days its pretty hard not to bang your head at least once in the loft bedroom, which as stated in the page only had a 4.5ft ceiling. :) Also, as others have said, the hot water heater is microscopic. Advice: turn the water off when you are shampooing/soaping, because if you don't there might not be enough hot left for you, much less the person showing after you!!! The price is right and you can't beat the personalized service if you don't mind these things. My husband and I left behind our Berlitz Rome guidebook as well as a map where he had marked 50 (!!) restaurants with good reviews all over town and 4 of the best places for gelato. Hopefully Lis Mari will print out the descriptions of these places for you to have the benefit of as well!!! All that said, it was nice to be in a real neighborhood, with a lovely bakery around the corner and a good pizza place 2 minutes away as well. It depends what your priorities are.
