Anna was very quick to respond, given I booked the night before arrival. At check in time the room wasn't ready (because the people before were late checking out), but host was accommodating and let me sleep on her couch because I was exhausted.
The room was clean nice and spacious. But I found it a bit strange that Anna asked me to sleep on the single bed when there was a double bed also in the room — I would think I could sleep on any bed given I'm paying for the whole room as a 'private room'. You could feel the springs in the single bed, not very comfortable.
I asked to use Anna's washing machine as it was advertised as available for two euro per wash, but this seemed to put her off and she was very cold towards me after that.
The lounge room is the only way to the backyard (which was allowed to be used by guests), but Anna spent much of her time in the lounge room with the door locked so it was difficult to get outside and quite awkward having to knock every time. She seemed to be annoyed by this.
The neighbourhood is cool because you get to experience suburbia Rome. No tourists around and food is much cheaper than in the city centre. It's close to shops. And there is a great coffee place just two minutes away. It's quite far from the city centre by public transport so if you only have a short time in Rome this can be inconvenient.
I wouldn't stay here again as it's too far from the city centre and Anna wasn't very friendly towards the end. I feel like she's wants the business that AirBnB provides but isn't willing to host as should be expected.
