Positives: Great location to The Spanish Steps, shopping, & the metro. Most sights are within walking distance, as Rome is an easy walking city. Anything outside of walking distance is reachable by metro.
The terrace area was great for morning coffee or an evening snack/wine, and the accommodations were comfortable and clean.
Negatives: Bathroom had mildew built up on upper walls (easily cleaned). Host should have instructions for guests to leave bathroom door open when not in use and to use exhaust fan regularly.
Directions for finding the place were not exactly clear, and when you do find it, there is no label to figure out which apartment to ring (with someone waiting IN the apartment). My suggestion is that perhaps someone meets guests outside of the building or at a known location nearby. This was the case with the other 3 apartments we used in Italy.
There is on one who spoke English with which to work. This definitely caused a language barrier and unclear understanding of some information. An example is the debacle with a lock KNOWN for locking accidentally (we were told this by the key holders after the incident), and for which we had no key. Communication was difficult in that the phone number we had was for the owner's "ex-girlfriend," who was not thrilled to be dealing with us, and the key holders who came to let us in had already gone home - an hour away - and had to come back while we waited outside. Luckily we met a neighbor who assisted and translated for us. Due to us not being able to find the apartment with no labeling, the host wanted to charge us his 30 euro late fee (even though we were there and attempted to communicate, but had not had phone services yet in the country). We felt this extremely unfair especially in the light of having to wait an hour on the locked door. However, the host was not willing to accept responsibility and blamed us for the locked door stating we touched it. That was not the case. All in all, we had a great time in Roma and have great reviews from other hosts for maintaining the cleanliness and care of their homes (no difference for this one - he was not happy with us, but we left his home in impeccable shape). Again, great location, but be aware that Lucca is not "a people person" (as he stated in a message to me when I told him that I broke my ankle after booking, so it was taking me more time than expected to do all the walking - he wrote, " . . . and I don't care about your ankle.")
