Rome's centro storico is walkable end-to-end, so 'best area' really means 'which vibe do you want when you step out of the hotel'. Stay inside the ZTL (limited-traffic zone) or one metro stop out — anything further and you'll waste time in taxis.
Monti — walkable to the Colosseum, packed with wine bars, priced below Trastevere.

Elegant residential, wide boulevards, quiet
Working-class foodie, Sunday market
