This was a great place to stay! I wasn't sure about being outside of the Metro area, but there is la bus stop (Route 75) *right* next to the apartment that takes you all over the city (past the Colosseum) and ends at Termini. Taking this bus was pretty much like being on a tourist bus everyday. I saw so many things I wouldn't have seen taking the metro. The bus drivers are kind and you can buy a bus ticket at any corner store or cafe in Rome.
I stayed in August and I used the AC in the bedroom which worked well and the WiFi is fast. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is stocked nicely. The coffee was really high quality ground coffee and the host taught me how to make coffee the Italian way using the "moka"pot. I made several meals in the kitchen and they turned out nicely. There is a Carrefour Express just a block down the street so definitely stock up on groceries from there and I had dinner at Il Focolare around the corner which was suggested by the host and it was the best pizza I have ever had. They left me a bottle of wine in the refrigerator and it was lovely.
