Host was very responsive to texts. He was not intrusive. The place was basic and adequate. Use of kitchen was nice and all that was needed were present. There was another room a single for guests which was used. Could talk to them as you wanted but no feeling of having to share space with others was an issue. The place is about a quarter mile walking of st Peters Basilica which was very cool and about a 1/3 if a mile from line A of the subway which was very convenient also. I thought it was a fantastic value to have a comfortable convenient stay in Rome for this price!
