It was a lovely few days in Rome and staying at the apartment was definitely part of it - the room was lovely, decorated with an unusual large painting, I also had access to a balcony which was perfect for relaxing after walking in the city all day.
As for the area, there are a couple nice restaurants in the neighbourhood (Pietro, Damiano's son gave a great suggestion) and the shopping centre is only a few minutes away. The hosts, Damiano and Pietro, were very polite, chatty and gave helpful tips for my brief stay. When I go back to Rome I will definitely be staying here if I can.
