Our host was wonderful. She was there when we arrived and went over the apartment with us, how to use the 6 keys, showed us the location on the map and went over the important points of the apartment.
The neighbourhood we felt was safe. We walked home late at night a few times and was still able to find the bus 982 from downtown Rome which drops us off a block away.
We were able to buy groceries at a supermarket which is located a block or two left of her place. There was also a laundry on the way to the vatican which charges about 5 euros per load.
We arrived at Orietta's place via private airport shuttle and it cut down on the stress of trying to make the three connections on public transit from the airport after a red-eye flight. They also picked us up too.
The power went out in the our unit once and Orietta immediately addressed the situation and got it fixed within 30 minutes. When we ran out of the olive oil and dish soap I messaged Orietta and immediately she knocked on our door to help us replenish our supplies.

It was really nice to have eggs, yogurt and bread and coffee/tea. We made breakfast everyday and found it cheaper to buy groceries and cook food that we liked to ear than eat out.

I suggest being some laundry soap if you want to hand wash anything, Orietta supplied us with a drying rack and clothing line to hang items that we wanted to dry over night on the patio.

Rome was 38 degree in July and very hot so we enjoyed having the AC and Wifi.
The use of space was brilliant and the furniture and kitchen design really maximized the functionality of the room. Everything you need was there and it was fine for 2 people.
