We had a great stay with Elisabetta, our first airBnB stay. She also helped us arrange our airport transfer which was efficient and priced fairly. We did miss some of the conveniences of staying at a hotel, but overall it was a good experience.

Pros: Lovely host who did her best to help us with our needs, fantastic location, rooms exactly as in the photos. Clean and easy to walk everywhere in Rome. Good value.

Cons: We stayed in both the smaller, inside room, which was nice and quiet and the outer room facing the street. We did not realise it could get so noisy at night, but I guess that is part and parcel of staying in the centre of Rome. Also, we appreciated Elisabetta's restaurant recommendations but did not have much luck. Our own fault really, as we were too tired to venture out of the tourist areas. For better food, go away from the tourist attractions!
