My wife & I have just returned from a long weekend in Rome with friends. I'd chosen Valeria's Guest House after reading some great reviews on the internet. It's not exactly central but, then again, it's very close to the Vatican and not that far from the tourist centre. For example, the quickest walking route to Piazza Navona is through St Peter's Square & across the Vittorio Emanuelle II bridge - it takes less than 15 minutes. The lovely Liana greeted us and couldn't have been more helpful in recommending places to go, things to see and how to get there (the #46 bus featured heavily). Both double and twin rooms were well-appointed and comfortable - there was some early morning noise from elsewhere in the apartment block, but it didn't disturb us too much. There not much of a view from the small balcony, but it didn't matter - it was a pleasant place for a pre-adventure morning coffee or a star-gaze to accompany a glass of wine. Had a busy weekend, but came back rested.
