I can only recommend staying at Sara‘s. I stayed for a month and had the best of times at her place, in the very heart of Rome. The room with its private bathroom is perfectly located and has everything one needs. Sara is a very gentle and helpful host who i can now call a friend. She showed me around theatres and concerts and invited me to some of her singing performances since she is a great singer of Italian popular music. I felt at home and I would surely go back to her place whenever I go back to Rome.
