We had a short, but comfortable stay at Laura’s place. My mom, 4-year-old son, and I stayed for 1 night prior to a cruise. It’s only 10 mins from Piazzale Roma if you walk at average speed. It took at least twice that with my easily-distractible and short-legged son. Even though I booked the place months in advance, Laura contacted me 1 week and then 2 days prior to arrival. She let us stow our luggage prior to check-in, and even let us in 1 hour prior to the standard check-in time. The place is a little farther from the main sights, but an average walker would have no problem visiting those sights on foot. There is a very convenient, but small, supermarket just steps away.
