Barbaras place was beautiful - lovely decoration and I was welcomed with a bottle of wine. Across the road there is a supermarket and around in the area many great options for restaurants and bars. Its quieter than the party area of Plaza Armenia, and closer to all public transport options in Plaza Italia.
Additionally, I booked the SUM for one night for a family gathering, for a low price, and it was very comfortable and convenient to be able to host - since the apartment is too small for that.
Note that the bathroom is a bit small but does the job. Thank you for the great stay, I'll definitely be back!
