If you want to get away from the throngs of tourists Pigneto is a great place to go-- having been to Rome a few times over the years it was nice to see a new side of the city. Also good for a longer stay (I was there over a month), with cheap grocery stores and markets right around the corner from the apartment. It is a bit of a journey to get to the main attractions, but due to the sprawling nature of Rome that's an issue that arises with many neighborhoods. Although it is a studio, the space is used so well it feels much bigger than it is and is quite comfortable for one or two people. The mini botanical garden on the terrace was especially lovely. Venere is very nice and gave me a helpful run-down of the neighborhood when I checked in.
