We really liked it at Simone's flat. It's exactly as described, feels like junior suite, and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine, and maps and good tips. All very clean and well prepared. This ground flat is comfortable and as nice as the pictures, but looks out to a car park. Though not dead central, there is tram and bus at the front door with a straight route to the coliseum under 20 minutes, or the beautiful Park Borghese in the opposite direction. Aircon was a godsend, also free internet to book tickets and make plans. Great to get towels for the bath and cleaning stuff for the kitchen. Neighbourhood is residential and feels safe, but don't expect glamourus dolce vita, there is a small shop, decent cafe and pizzeria 50 yards from the flat - a good thing as central Rome is the kingdom of restaurant rip offs (e.g. Euro 65 for two bowls of spaghetti and four drinks), and you can cook at the flat too. The adjacent bar is good for a nightcap - but you can hear music and talking until well past 2am, which we found the only drawback of this lovely flat.
