We chose to come to Rome at the last minute, but Antonella was very fast to respond and accepted graciously. We arrived in Rome early in the day but still we were able to check in and unload our bags. We didn't see much of Antonella but she was always available next door if we needed something. She also offered to hold our bags for us before our train. The room was not large but made very efficient use of space and was pleasant to stay in -- there is a functional kitchen, bathroom, and even a loft with a spare bed. A/C was not necessary during the cool night, but was available. Nice TV too, did not use it but was a pleasant touch. Overall Antonella was a great host and we had a lovely stay in Rome, would highly recommend to anyone!
