Gabriele's place was located centrally enough to meet all of our needs, but in a residential area to give you more of a local feel of the city. The basilica across the street is worth a visit, and there is a good cafe and supermarket up the road. Recommend trying the restaurant King of Rome, which is about 10-15 minutes walk away. The unit met all of our needs and Gabriele kindly offered to pick us up at the train station, which was very helpful.
