We found Benedetta's place perfect for our first visit to Rome (family of 6 - 4 teenage kids). The location is a 5-10 minute walk from the nearest metro station, and it was very straight forward to catch a train from there to get to the various sites we visited (city center for colliseum/ pantheon, spanish steps, etc) + Vatican. We actually walked to the colliseum on our first day - a nice walk ~25 minutes. Another good walk is to the catacombs nearAppia Antica. There are also a number of of good restaurants and fast food joints in the neighborhood including a great cannoli and a great tiramisu place, both of which we frequented way too much. The house was sparkling clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Benadetta is extremely meticulous with instructions and thoughtful touches (neighborhood map, restaurant recommendations, etc) that made us feel very welcome and comfortable. She was also very responsive to any queries and proactive in keeping us informed (for example: warning us about upcoming weather in case we might want to adjust our plans for the day around it). She even arranged the airport transfer for us, which made things very simple when checking out. All in all an A+ experience.
