Being guest in a not english speakers home is’nt a problem if your host to be easy going person like Beppe, tram and bus sucks in Rome crowded and unpunctual and a bit dirty, I was there at summer time so I need shower time to time water switched between cold and warm mostly cold , if you have Plan to stay out at night it’s better to get home at some place near Rome center that you could walk to .
But Beppe’s home is so accessible from Rome termini by tram 5 and 14 and from Rome center by bus #81.
