We never met the host but were greeted by Carolina. Carolina was extremely helpful and made sure all our queries were addressed in no time.
The place is around 30 min away from all major attractions and the best way to get there is by tram from roma termini. Tram takes you directly 100m away from the accommodation. If you take the tube you have to change it once at san jiovani.
The only drawback about the property is that its on the third floor with no lift. We were on a 15 day eurotrip and had 3 bags with us that we had to carry all the way up to 3rd floor which was extremely tiring.
In all, the place is nice, locality is nice and a good value for money
