Carolina's place was perfect for our needs. Located a few blocks for the Colosseum, it was in the heart of everything Roma. The apartment was very unique and authentic. It was in the heart of the city but still very quiet due to it's location in the building. Our view from the bedroom window and the little balcony beside our front door was lovely Italy. There was no oven or microwave but we made due easily with the little stove and fridge provided. Carolina was a gracious and helpful host. We would definitely rent her place again.
PS - prices for everything are much more reasonable UP the hill, away from the Colosseum. The variety store (half a block) is a bit pricey, but handy in a pinch. A great Irish pub less the a block up the street on the left.
