Me and my mom stayed at Lucilla's place for a week in May. Lucilla was kind enough to pick us up from the airport and show us the local area before taking us to her flat. The flat has everything you need, including the towels, iron and ironing board and even a washing machine. Lucilla welcomed us with a nice fresh bread with olives and tomatoes, called Frescella and left us some fresh cherries for the week.

The only downside that I could think of was the connection to the centre of Rome - there is a tram that takes you to Termini and a number of buses, but for a Londoner, public transport in Rome can be a bit of a nightmare since there is no schedules ;)

But overall I would recommend staying at Lucilla's to anyone who's planning to visit Rome and get the feel for what it's like to live in this impressive city.
