We only had one night in Rome, and we had 2 requirements. A location close to the train, and close to at least one attractions. Franco's home was perfect as it was a 20 min walk from Roma Termini and a short walk to the Colosseum. This studio apartment is on the first floor (no stairs) and it's very clean. Franco met us there and showed us the room, as well as gave us a map circling our location and pointing out other attractions. Yes, it's loud, but this isn't the Tuscan countryside - it's Rome. It's a great place and great value.
