We felt safe and secure in this private room. The beds were hard as boards but aside from that, it was adequate. The room had a lock on it, which was nice and the hostess gave us keys for the outside of the building and our room. Although the hostess didn't speak any English, we were able to communicate through someone on the phone regarding our payment method (we had paid through Airbnb but the hostess had told us we needed cash). We had to show her the receipt to prove we paid. Subway is a few blocks away which takes you to downtown Rome. A nice rural area with restaurants a few blocks from the room.
