Shapan was a very hospitable and friendly host. Upon my arrival he offered me some very good orange juice and also some apples and bananas for snacks. The actual room is a bit darker than what's shown on the pictures because there is a shutter window which is locked in a semi-closed position, which is not really a big deal. The room faces the street on the 1st floor (one floor up for the North Americans) so it can be noisy with car and scooter horns as well as ambulance sirens blaring in the morning and early evenings, but it's quiet at night. The room itself was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The flat is quite small - just your room, Shapan's room, the bathroom, and kitchen which is off limits except for the fridge. The washroom is narrow and I had to squeeze my way past the toilet to get to the shower, but to me it wasn't a problem. The neighbourhood around the accommodation did feel a bit sketchy with random people just standing around, however I didn't have any issues and I kind of got used to it later on in the trip. The location is very convenient: About a 10 minute walk from Termini, the train station and 3 minute walk from Vittorio Emanuelle II metro station to take you anywhere you need to go in the city. As a bonus: There is an Indian restaurant within a 1 minute walk that has really cheap and good food (example: 5 euros for a lamb biryani): great for if you want to take a break from Italian food! Overall the stay worked great for us as we stayed in Rome for a couple of nights to explore the city.
