We loved staying at Renzo's apartment for our first trip to Rome. It was really comfortable and had everything you would need, and is close to heaps of great shops and restaurants. The NaturaSi health food shop next door was fantastic, and yes - the gelati at Apple and Cinnamon down the street was delicious! We can also recommend La Tavernaccia, Trattoria Strozzaquintino and Per Bacco for eating out, and Mario Tornatora for your morning coffee fix! It's also very close to bus stops into Rome, and the train station is only a 10 minute walk away. We enjoyed exploring some of Renzo's recommendations for visiting in Rome, such as Via dei Banchi Vecchi and Via del Boschetto in Monti. Overall a great place to stay!
