We stated at Raf's place, the apartment was very nice and had an amazing view of Rome. The main bedroom was very comfortable and there were two separate bathrooms. It worked out well for the most part. Although other reviews mentioned they did not have difficulty getting to the tourist areas I did have difficulty finding good public transport options. When I looked at Google for directions we always had to walk a fair amount to a bus stop. I must confess that the only reason this was difficult is because I was traveling with my mother. Also the other bedroom is a bit uncomfortable. There is futon and a second bedroom that is not very comfortable. Overall these things are workable.
Overall this was a very positive experience. There are several restaurants 5 to 10 minute walk from the apartment. The other very positive thing was that we had a car and there was street parking readily available which meant that we did not have to pay for parking.
