Silvano's house is clean and has everything someone would need in their stay, the only small negative point is the noise that comes from the road at night. Highly sensitive people could have a little trouble falling asleep. The neighborhood, although quite dirty and a little sketchy at the beginning, showed nothing but friendly people. You can also get to public transportation in several ways. there is a surface metro just outside the house, there is a bus and surface metro within a 5 minute walk and a metro within 10 minutes.
As for the host, Silvano, he is one of the friendliest people I ever met, he will help you in everything you need and more. You can talk to him if you are extrovert but you don't have to, he is really respectful and doesn't make any noise at night. The breakfast takes place on his restaurant and you have a lot of choice. I recommend the capuccino which is delicious. If you are looking for some place to lunch or have dinner, this restaurant is also a great choice as the food is marvelous and inexpensive (it is even recommended on tripadvisor).
