Room #5 at Carini is spacious, with a lovely balcony, sofa, and private bath. If you are a runner or doing research at the American Academy in Rome, this is the perfect location - Villa Doria Pamphili is not far away and perfect for runs of any length. Note that the location is not central - it's just over a mile to get to the Pantheon on foot. I personally loved this aspect, and I loved wandering at length in Trastevere nearby. Neighborhood is safe. There are lots of grocery stores in the area (a Pam local was opening right next to the apartment the day I left!), a wonderful enoteca, a terrific bar called Gli Archi with amazing, inexpensive lunch options (gluten-free and vegan-friendly too!), an American-style breakfast place (if that's your thing), and the iconic Pizzeria da Simone. Fridge is also available but very small and quite packed. Never took the bus in the month I stayed here, but it's available if you don't want to walk.
