We just came back from Rome where we stayed at Ilaria's place. The apartment is very roomy, two large bedrooms, large living room, kitchen and one bathroom. Clean. There is a dishwasher in the kitchen, and a washer machine. No dryer, but you can dry clothes on a terrace. Having a terrace is a huge plus, we really enjoyed having breakfasts and coffer there in warmer days. The check in was very easy, Ilaria was waiting for us when we arrived and explained everything and answered all our questions.
Good location, you can see Colosseum from the window, it is short walking distance to Roman Forum. I have problems with my foot so we took taxi few times after long walks from places like Spanish Steps, however - it is still on a walking distance from Ilaria's apartment, if you can walk and enjoy walking. You will need taxi to Vatican, or Catacombs - that is expected. We liked the area as while it is close to some attractions - it is has a nice residential feel to it. A lot of nice restaurants around, and good large supermarket 5 min away, which is rare for Rome.
