Looking to go to Rome next Thanksgiving, any recommendations on areas to stay with kids 6-12?

We stayed in an AirBnB in Trastavere. Very safe, took cabs to the major sights in the city, and great neighborhood restaurants within walking distance.

We stayed at the h10 Palazzo Gala with kids this summer. Great central location and not super expensive.

We stayed near Termini area and it was close to colosseum and a lot of cathedrals. Also good transit too. Had a Gelato place across the street too near one of the spots.

I didn't realize how limited the subway is and really everything seems really close together. We booked a place really close to the Colisseum so thanks everyone.

I’ve stayed in Vatican area and pantheon area. I definitely preferred pantheon area. The trastavere will be a great spot too.

Great neighborhood. I loved wandering around.

I pick the Piazza Navona or Campo de Fiore neighborhoods.

Same. 100% would stay in Trastevre again.

What did you like about it? I'm clueless, but looks like public trasportation to the important spots is not great to there? Is it mostly just that its a nice residential area?

It's lower key than the rest of the big city. There's a lot of food and drink options within the community. Regarding public transportation, there's cabs and ubers everywhere, however ubers are pricey compared to cabs and tram. We walked 18-20 miles per day when we went just walking around and to places. I understand that's not applicable with young kids, but try and adjust your expectations because life over there is more based on walking than riding. The walks are an experience themselves, and allow you to catch small lunch and gelato spots along the way. Walking a mile or two to a tram to go site seeing isn't unreasonable with a 6 year old.
ETA: I went on my honeymoon so it was just me and the wife. I have two kids now under 3, so my experiences didn't include kids. I completely understand anyone disagreeing with me
