Emanuela's flat was comfortable and extremely well located -- perfect for us to explore the city center. Our favorite part of the flat (and our trip!) was walking to the local restaurants in Trastevere. Trastevere is home to the best Roman restaurants I've been to, and currently is much less touristy than other neighborhoods in central Rome. We saw most everything in the city by foot, as all of the major attractions are within walking distance. (The only site you may prefer to drive to is Palantine Hill, roughly 30-40 min away walking.)
