The host, Patrizia was very welcoming, and treated us like neighbors. The property is located in the Monteverde neighborhood, adjacent to Trastevere, outside the hubub of downtown Rome, which avoids the tourist trap feeling. Its also QUIET. You'll feel like a local, in no time. There's also a beautiful park close by. Best of all, the bus stop is just a one minute walk, giving you complete access to the whole city. We used Google maps to navigate the bus routes and city. Don't show up in Rome, without an international cell plan, you will regret it. Study the ATAC bus website on how to use the tap and go credit card system. One different card, for each person. We didnt use the paper tickets.
Once you get the bus down, I'm sure you'll enjoy the location, as much as we did. In addition, pizzarias, restaurants, and grocery stores, in walking distance.
