I would recommend Claudia's place for a short- to medium-term stay in Rome. It's a bit far from the center but well-connected by transit, and the neighbourhood will give you a sense of what life in Rome is like for locals today (not something you will get everywhere in the city). Would also recommend for a stay in the warmer months, as it can get cold, damp, and dark in the winter months in this basement apartment (though I imagine the basement helps keep things cool in summer!). The place seems to have been Airbnb-ed out for several years--the owners don't live here--so while individual bedrooms get thoroughly cleaned with new guests, some of the common areas were more dilapidated (broken kitchen drain that was only fixed after a couple of months, for instance). Also, as the owners don't live here, you'll be sharing the space with other short-term renters (not an issue for me but something to be aware of ahead of time). Hot water and internet were, with a few exceptions, pretty reliable. Claudia and Federica were quick to respond to any issues we had with the space that we couldn't address, and were very friendly and welcoming.
