Fabrizio is a wonderful host! He met us at the door to the building, walked us around the neighborhood to show us the bus stops, train station, grocery store, even his favorite breakfast bar and coffee places. He made sure we had enough of all the essentials and was very easy to contact during our stay, and has lots of great suggestions.
It is a sweet apartment, very comfortable - great for a couple or a family. The washing machine and the kitchen were a big plus for us. It's just a few minutes to walk to the supermarket and several places to eat, as well as the bus stop to get into the city center and a train station to get to the airport.
The only downside might be if you want to be right in the middle of the nightlife or tourist spots in Rome; this apartment is in a residential neighborhood, ~20 minutes by bus to the center of things. However, that means it's nice and quiet after a long, busy day. (Also: don't be put off by the graffiti on the approach!)
If you're going in the summer, note that there is a very effective air conditioning unit in each bedroom but not in the common areas, so they're a little warmer but still tolerable. We still cooked & ate dinner there every night. ( if you can't handle heat, you probably don't want to be in Rome in August anyway.)
