I am traveling with my 7-year old son and we both loved Barbara's place. It is close enough to the Trastevere station to walk. If you want to go into downtown Trastevere, it's better to hop onto the tram (the stop is two blocks from Barbara's place) and it will take you to the area with all of the bars and shops. Barbara's house was quiet and peaceful and the bathroom was really nice. My son was quite impressed by the fancy shower! There is a kitchen with coffee and a refrigerator so it's easy to cook for yourself.
