First off, this is a very good B&B for people on a budget. The room I stayed in was very nice - very clean, great shower, comfortable bed, great decor, etc. The small staff were very nice and accommodating. Based on some of the reviews, I was expecting the location to be Hell on Earth, with trash blowing across the street and fires burning in oil drums or something - it's not THAT bad. However, If you can avoid it, I would advise against arriving late at night, as I did. It can be unsettling looking like a vulnerable tourist there after dark, as there are definitely some sketchy-looking characters walking around. But, after being there for a little while, you come to realise these people are basically harmless. And it's not crawling with the pickpockets you'll find in the city centre, where you REALLY have to be careful. Also, the area feels even more safe in the day. A huge thing it has going for it is mind-blowingly good Gelato place a few doors down from the B&B that is open very late and always full of people. It's a real highlight and a must-visit. The B&B is in a pretty convenient spot - a short walk to the Metro, which is one stop from Termini station and a few short stops to the historic centre. Bottom line is this is a great place to stay, even though the area's a little grungy-looking at night.
