The host of this place was the dream host. Friendly, ready to laugh, engaging. He painted a picture of Rome for me and gave me more suggestions than I had room for, he even took me on a 30 minute tour of the local area to make me feel at home. The room was outstanding, beautiful, cool in the heat and with plenty of space. It seems the host values social and interesting people, so the others living in the flat were always kind and entertaining. The location of the flat was perfect - away from the tourist crowds but (very!) easy to get to from the local train station and close to busses / trams / metro to travel all over rome.
I would happily say that my experience was perfect. I will return. You should, too!
