Cristiano's place was in a great location. It is only a few minutes walk to the Vatican. If you're there during the week you can catch mass on Wednesday and maybe see the pope! We were able to walk to most tourist sites from Cristianos which was an added benefit. It's on a street with other restaraunts in which you can dine and indulge on Italian culture. The place itself is as described. The beds and couch were a little uncomfortable for my liking. There is only one shower so if you go with more than two people can cause a small wait. The air conditioning was the real MVP especially during the hot days we experienced. As for the host, he wasn't the best at communicating with us but did respond to all our messages. Checking in was a pain because he estimated we would get there two hours after our plane landed but since we had a private rental pickup we got there just 40 minutes after we landed. So my family and I waited outside in the heat for his cousin to arrive. We also weren't given clear instructions on checking out so we didn't know what to do with our trash and where to leave keys. Still recommend however ask for clear instructions beforehand just in case.
