Great host, very friendly and willing to help. Provided me with a guide of Italy to help in my exploration. He had a nice large kitchen and had all the gadgets needed to cook a good meal. Room and flat was very spacious. His flat is on the second floor with an elevator and is in a secured building so I felt safe. There are several bus stops nearby in walking distance and google maps was very helpful in figuring out which buses to take into the center of Rome. You can buy metro/bus tickets at the tobacco store next door. My trip was enjoyable.
