This rental is great if you are looking for a cheap, basic place to hang your hat between exploring, though it's lacking in finer amenities, it felt disconnected from anything other than the Coloseum, and the bathroom had a very bad odor. More details below.
Most of the units in this building seem to be used as short-term rentals, and as such they are run efficiently and cheerfully. It was incredibly easy to check in and out, store bags, etc. The host is wonderful.
The unit we rented was cheap and functional - a small kitchen/living/dining room with a futon that can be used as another sleeping space, very small bathroom, and a small bedroom.
It is quiet and feels safe - there are locking metal shutters on all the windows, and it's down a short back alley, behind another group of apartments, so it's well protected from the main road in terms of noise and traffic.
This location means there isn't much in the way of views, and the patio shown in the photos has no views at all, as it is sunken slightly below the main building, and the buildings around it.
The surrounding streets have little to offer in terms of cafes, restaurants or bars (there are a handful of options closer to the coloseum, but it is minimal), and it is a long trek to a neighborhood that feels more connected or lively. It's also very difficult to get a taxi here, as the main road is a speeding thoroughfare that is one-way in the wrong direction. The nearest intersection, at the Coloseum, is also one-way in a direction that heads away from the heart of Rome. Busses do run nearby and are allowed to travel against the one-way traffic, towards the heart of Rome.
The interior was also very dark and felt sparsely furnished, not a place I would like to spend time relaxing, but the bed was firm and very comfortable..
The bathroom had a foul odor, like garbage or rotting food.
