What area of Rome should I stay in?
I'm going to check out vacation rentals in Rome for September. I have no idea where to look. I was to be somewhere that is easy access to sight seeing and restaurants. Any suggestions?

Re: What area of Rome should I stay in?
Trastevere is sort of hip and happening, and isn't incredibly close to the "main stuff" but I remember that it was a fairly easy walk from there to Piazza Navona. It is on the west side of the Tiber and therefore may be cheaper to stay than the center.
There are a lot of really nice homes along the Via Gregorio VII which is near the Vatican, but again it's outside of the center.
For the center I'd try to stay close to the following Metro stops:
Lepanto (west side); (east side:) Spagna, Barberini Fontana di Trevi, or Cavour
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Both are excellent areas. We stayed in a private apartment through Rental In Rome just off of Campo de Fiori back in September (blog entry here). We were able to walk easily to several sights and those that were too far to walk to were easily reachable via the bus lines, which were a two minute walk from our apartment.
Our favorite area is near Piazza Navona. Tons of cafes. The piazza is always busy with people....and artists.
We stayed in hotel nazionale, which was right off corso and close to the pantheon - we loved the location and walked to everything - colosseeum, villa borghese, spanish steps, forum, and even the Vatican (all though that was pretty far)
we stayed at Hotel Nerva, which was very close to the Coliseum. I thought it was a great location. walkable from the train station, and walkable to all the stuff you want to see.
surprisingly, the metro in Rome is fairly useless, so there's lots of walking.
