Raffaella's place is beautiful, very clean, and has plenty of space to spread out in in the common space. I was there for a brief work trip and it was a perfect blend of a local spot that was easy to access the rest of the city and close to the subway. Raffaella was also very hospitable - she had left plenty of cold waters in the refrigerator for when I arrived (much needed as it was about 35 degrees C the week I was there). I also appreciated how easy it was to pick up keys from her. Note that there were no fans or A/C, but the windows helped cool the place down. Also, bring your own toiletries.
