Magda was a wonderful host! She met us for a coffee before heading to the apartment, which allowed her to explain the area a bit. She had good maps and advice for seeing Rome and outlines transit options very clearly. Though we spoke little Italian and her a bit of English, if you're willing enough you can communicate quite easily. The apartment is a beautiful little place in an actual Italian/non-touristy area with all the amenities. Magda even left us some basic food supplies which we used for our lunches. All in all we had a wonderful stay!
