This was our first trip to Rome. We never met Nina, but we met her son Luigi upon our arrival. Nina's place was ideal because it was less than a 15 minute walk away from Termini station, and it was less than a 10 minute walk away from the Hop On/Hop Off bus stop. This made the city very accessible. The only downsides were: 1) it is a bit overpriced (but keep in mind, it is in a great location and we felt safe the entire time), and 2) the shower was quite small. I am 5' 3'' with an average build, and I found I had some difficulty maneuvering. Despite this, we had a lovely stay, and we'd be willing to stay here again.
