Staying with Chiara is like visiting your family in Rome! When I arrived, Chiara sat with me for at least half an hour answering any and all questions I had about getting around the city. She was also extremely responsive through text messages before my arrival to coordinate my travel from the train station to the apartment and check-in.
The room is within a larger apartment where her mother lives, but has its own dedicated entrance and private bathroom. Every morning, Chiara's mother would leave a small table with breakfast outside my door! It was amazing!
As for location, I was able to walk to all attractions. The furthest was The Vatican, which was about a 45 minute walk. Everything else (Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon) was within 25 minutes walk, but also easily accessible by bus or tram.
Chiara also had an extensive list of places to eat that were not "touristy." I tried most of them and was never disappointed. The neighborhood was extremely charming and awesome at night as there are tons of restaurants and bars within a short walk. This was the perfect place to stay and I could not have asked for or expected more.
