Area: BEST neighborhood in all of Rome - very hip with great food, shops, etc. Not only that, the area was central to historical sites and easy to walk.
Apartment: GREAT value and definitely would recommend. The decor is a mix of cool Roman antiques and practical Swedish basics. It is outfitted well with comfortable beds, nice showers, towels and kitchen equipment. The rooftop patio was a nice add for late-night drinks with a view of the local sites.
Host: Carlo (the owner, who is different than the property manager Federico) was SUPER at check-in, helping us carry the bags up the stairs and giving us a key to lock up our stroller at ground level.
