I stayed in Francesca's apartment with my wife and two kids for a few days in July. Her apartment manager met us at the door and showed us the place, which had everything we needed. We stayed in the bedroom, and the kids stayed on the fold out couch. The apartment was charming, very clean, and had a nice, lived-in feel. We cooked breakfast a few times, but could easily have prepared a few simple meals as well in the small but nicely equipped kitchen.
The neighborhood was quiet enough at night, and a short walk to the tram and busses. A slightly longer walk took us to the subway. There is a restaurant across the street, a bakery in walking distance, and a few cafes nearby. During the summer there is an outdoor festival along the river a few blocks away.
Be aware that only the bedroom has A/C and the windows, as with most places in Europe, do not have screens, so you will get mosquitoes if you leave them open. Even though it was terribly hot during the day, the apartment stayed cool enough at night.
I'm not sure when our next trip to Rome will be, but we'll definitely stay in this apartment again.
