It is a great place to stay when visiting Rome due to the location as well as the host himself. The place is in the university area so there are plenty of places to eat as well as go out at a convenient price. As to Daniel, I was very impressed how he always made sure that everything is provided for us as well as gave us great ideas for places to visit in the "real Rome". The historic center is at a walking distance and on your way you can see interesting places that not every travel guide suggests.
