Carla was a wonderful host. She made us feel very welcome and did a great job with restaurant suggestions and where to go for bars etc. This place has old roman charm with lots of antique furnishing. There are only a few small windows so after a few days it felt a bit cave like but there is lots of lamps and lights. The bathroom and kitchen are small they work. Be careful not to switch the hot water switch off (as I accidentally did when looking for the bathroom light in the middle of the night) as this means icy cold showers until the water heats up again. The area at first seems a bit dodgy (small side streets and quite), but it is actually really safe and you get us to it. We walked everywhere. Definitely eat at mani in pasta literally round the corner, great food and very friendly staff, book at table for 7 or 7.30 for dinner. The pizzeria Carla suggests on the main rd is also great, ask for a table inside so you can watch them make the pizzas. It's great to watch.
