Federico's apartment is just a stone's throw from the metro which makes it a very central location and easy for getting around Rome. It's also near a lovely cafe/bakery that we frequented each morning before setting out to see the sights. He was very accommodating and helpful with our late arrival into Rome around midnight. Rome was hot during our stay (September 2014) and the apartment does not have air conditioning. It cooled off at night if the window was kept open but we got many mosquito bites and opted to keep the window closed after the first night. I saw other people with mosquito bites while walking around Rome so this is probably a common thing but worth mentioning nonetheless. Also, there was a bit of street noise that at times made it slightly more difficult to sleep. We personally live without air conditioning at home and also live right behind a train so these are things we're somewhat used to, however, we have a fan that helps with cooling the room and it also drowns out the street and train noise. A fan is definitely something to consider adding to the room to help with these things. Also, we noticed that our feet/socks turned black after a short time of walking around on the tile, but aside from that the apartment seemed clean. The ad states there is access to "free coffe, tea, milk, biscuits and fruit and an espresso machine". We were offered biscuits and espresso only, and the biscuits ran low after the second of our four days so we did not finish them off.
