We didn’t get to meet the host but her grounds keeper was very responsive and helped us get checked in. And even got the finicky AC to work after an hour of trying. The villa was spacious enough for our large group and we didn’t have any issues during our stay. The bathrooms could use some updating (as stated in other reviews). We had cars so we’re able to get to other areas of Rome within 15-20 minutes. Street parking was easy as well. The area seemed safe and quiet.
