The pro's:
--Rita's place is fantastically located. Just across the river from the Trastavere, a few blocks from Campo de Fiori, and really walkable to most places you'll want to visit in Rome.
--Rita was a great host, making check-in easy, helping us with our luggage, leaving us lots of snacks and breakfast foods, a welcome bottle of prosecco, and a useful map to orient us.
--The wifi and the AC worked wonderfully!
--The airport transfer Rita arranged for us was a really terrific deal at just 30 Euros.
The con's:
--I suppose I didn't read closely enough and didn't consider how floors are named in Europe so that the first floor there is what Americans would consider the second floor. This means that Rita's place is on what Americans would consider the fourth floor, forty-five steps up. That can be a bit of a challenge at the end of a long day of walking and it did make us plan our days a bit more carefully as running back to rest for a bit or get something involved all those stairs.
--The shower was very small, think cruise ship small. We managed, and we aren't svelte people, but I think anyone larger than us might have found it challenging. When I'd scrub my back I'd often accidentally hit the faucet and turn the shower off or accidentally turn it cold or hot.
