Great stay with Shapan, he is a kind and gracious host. Apartment does not have wifi. Shapan was very helpful with advice. Picture/listing were accurate. Room was clean and comfortable. Temperatures in Rome were mild so did not need to use heater. Some street noise, but easily addressed with ear plugs. Shapan can provide breakfast if you let him know on advance - a great convenience.
I felt safe in the neighborhood. There are people hanging out on the street, but they did not bother me (use common sense big city safety guidelines). Vittorio Emanuele metro station is very close. There is a market across the street if you want to buy food (I did not actually venture in). Of course Termini has all the conveniences. All in all enjoyed my stay and trip.
