We enjoyed our stay at Simona's place (casa cecilia). check in was smooth as we were welcomed by a very nice lady that explained how everything worked in the apartment. The place is nicely decorated and well equipped. The location is excellent!! You can walk to the Coliseum in about 5-6 minutes (where there is also a Metro station). you also have a lot of good places (well reviewed) to eat within walking distance. The only thing that needs an upgrade is the mattress, just too thin and uncomfortable. another thing to keep in mind. the place is small, especially the bathroom, so if you're not used to be in small spaces, this apartment is not for you. Overall, this is a great value for your money stay and a good place if your looking to explore rome by foot.
