hi all, my friends and I (3 of us) are looking for an apartment to rent in Rome, and was hoping we can get some pointers on where to start to look.

and recommendations for districts to stay in for all first timers. we're all relatively young and we're not too worried about walking/public transport/etc.

I've look at various sites so far (especially all the agency listed in wikitravel section), slow travel italy, venere, etc.

but because this trip is in mid April (not much time left), I'm slightly worried that there won't be too many selections left available.

price range is from 75E to 150E a night.

towards the end of our trip we'll also be taking the train to florence/venice during the last 2-3 days but during those 2 nights we'll probably just stay at random hostels/hotels.

any tips would be greatly appreciated.
