Hi,
both location are quite ok. But while reading your post I was thinking more and more at one location that you did not mantion: Trastevere. Trastevere used to be the working class quarter, then became the area of the artists. Today it is very popular among romans as well as tourist, here you will find bars and restaurants at every corner. Although the sight of Piazza Trilussa by night or the Square of Santa Maria in trastevere by day, can look very busy, Trastevere never loses it’s authentic atmosphere!
You will still find the artist working on his painting with the studio door slightly open, or the local “trasteverino” sitting outside his house chatting to the neighbour. If you gaze towards the sky you will see picturesque terraces covering the buildings of Trastevere, almost giving you the impression that the city continues on the rooftops.
Take your time to see this beautiful part of the city, visit it’s old churches, cross the beautiful piazza’s, enjoy a glass of wine in one of the many “Winerias” and maybe rest your legs having a piace of pizza on the staircase of Piazza Trilussa.
