Barbara's home was the perfect location for our nine-day Rome vacation this January. We loved staying right near Piazza Mazzini because it is conveniently located near many bus lines, a taxi stand, and the metro but it is not in a tourist area. We were easily able to walk to the Vatican, Centro Storico, Piazza del Popolo, and many other sites. The neighborhood is fantastic- all of our favorite meals were eaten within a short walking distance of the house! Don't miss the delicious maritozzo and cappuccino at Vanni! I also recommend coordinating with Barbara for an airport transfer as it made getting to and from the airport stress free.
