I knew this would be a good experience from the word go, as Emilio and Ludovica were so good at keeping in touch. I only met and dealt with Ludovica, who is extremely kind and helpful. To access the little studio you cross a delightful roof terrace, where there is a table to sit at and washing lines if you need them. Considering how small the space is, it is very well equipped, with table, fridge, sink, cooker, microwave, washing machine. There is a chest of drawers with one drawer free. There is no bidet, but the lavatory is sandwiched between the wash hand basin and the shower. The latter very efficient and with plenty of hot water. The kitchen area is very well stocked for one person. There is a little music centre. I worked out that the strange contraption next to it must be to plug in at night to deter mosquitoes. I also later discovered a small glass container of citronella to plug in. If it's hot, these are needed. The room gets very hot in summer; I didn't take up the offer, but I believe you can borrow a fan. The bed is comfortable, but narrow, so would not suit a large individual. There is public transport nearby, but I mostly walked into the centre and back. For the airport, bus 71 stops nearby and takes you to Roma Tiburtina train station in about 5-10 minutes. Trains to Fiumicino from there go every 15 minutes from Platform 5 and take about 45 minutes. The ticket is almost half the price of that of the faster train from Termini station. The latter is very busy and some of the surrounding roads feel somewhat seedy - a place to mind your wallet. On the plus side, there are masses of shops, including quite a large Carrefour supermarket. However, there is a smaller one within ten minutes' walk of the accommodation. There are also a few inexpensive restaurants quite close by. I was very happy at Via Dei Volsci and would certainly recommend it.
