Carlo's place is great. You should know that it is not in a heavy tourist area, which, to me, is a great thing. There are a couple of really nice restaurants nearby. I picked Carlo's place because of the location in relation to the Vatican. Even though it is on the other side of the Museum entrance, it was a lovely walk along Vaticano Viale. Carlo left us goodies including a lovely bottle of wine, which was much appreciated. The best part of the apartment, however, was the bed! I've slept in plenty of beds throughout Europe and this was one of (if not THE) most comfortable beds I've slept in. After spending 3 weeks in Italy, having two nights of really, really comfortable sleeping was a huge perk. The neighborhood is a little industrial for me my taste, but given the good nights' sleep and having good access to restaurants, a bakery, a gelateria, and a market, made up for the "industrial" feeling of the area. I would absolutely stay at Carlo's place again!
