I had a wonderful experience at "I Capocci". I did not meet Chiara during my stay but her father, Guido, was very helpful and welcoming. His English is excellent and he has lots of resources about what to see while in Rome. The neighborhood, Monti, is close to the Colosseum and there's a Metro station just down the street. It's within walking distance of the major sights and I even walked to the Vatican, which took about an hour. The Monti district is especially nice because it isn't overrun with tourists but is still lively, with lots of local people coming and going. I highly recommend staying at I Capocci.
