Daniel and Max run an immaculately clean and tidy residence, and they're both very warm and friendly. I particularly enjoyed my chats with Max, a well-travelled chap with a lot of interesting conversation. My only gripe with the room is that there isn't a kitchen available to guests - but the area is well served by shops and restaurants, and I was able to put together some simple meals in my room with supplies from the two supermarkets close by. I particularly recommend the Sicilan café underneath the archway at the bottom of Via Seneca. Don't try and get change from any of the middle-aged women working at the Carrefour supermarket, they won't be happy! The area is a real Roman working neighbourhood and really gave me a taste of everyday Italian life. The centre of Rome is a 10-minute bus ride away, and the service (913) was very regular, although it's often extremely crowded. I caught a bus back to Daniela and Max's as late as 2330 without any problems. I was on a research trip so didn't really have time to get to know Daniela and Max as much as I would have liked but I highly recommend a stay with them.
