Gaia has a lovely place that's clean and modern and has everything you need! We enjoyed our stay there very much. If you're in Rome to see the Vatican it's relatively nearby, but to get to the heart of the city you'll need transportation. Her place is close to the bus and train, which is great, but to use them you'll need some understanding of the public transit system, which was difficult for us with our limited Italian skills. Others might find it easy :)
