What is a nice hotel in the Trastevere area of Rome for a weeks stay while visiting my son who will be attending a study abroad program at John Cabot University.
John Cabot University has 2 campuses in Rome, both up near the north end of Trastevere. This is important, because Trastevere (literally, the area "across the Tiber") is rather a large area that runs nearly 2 kilometers along the "Etruscan" bank of the Tiber (as it was known in the days of the Roman Republic). The Trastevere train station is at the southern end, and a long walk to the campus...much better to aim for locations near Santa Maria in Trastevere, the church that is the heart of old Trastevere (the church is conveniently located on Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere).
Having said this, note that both campuses are also quite close to locations on the east side of the river. Thus, it is not at all unreasonable to stay in the Campo de' Fiori area just to the east...it's still only a short walk to the campuses, and this area is one of the best places to stay in Rome in terms of "centralness".
Many people use www.venere.com to find places; if you are looking for areas of Rome there, use "Trastevere" (but be careful where the hotel actually is) and "Navona" (i.e., the area on the east side of the river).

As Bill suggests, the area near Piazza Santa Maria is right on the doorstep of your son's study base and Trastevere does have quite a large number of eateries at all prices.
It's a nice place to stay.
I found this place on Trip Advisor that looks reasonable.

but there are many others.
I can suggest you to take a look on www.booking.com for possible hotels. You can search by rates, location, stars... and usually hotel reviews are quite helpful.

One of the bonuses of traveling at Christmas-time in Rome is the abundance of beautiful Nativity Scenes. They ranged from large life-sized displays, to displays intermingled within ruins, to meticulous and extravagant miniature displays.
As we were walking along Via Vittorio Emanuele from Piazza Venezia toward the Campo di Fiori we came upon the scene in the photo. As I have mentioned elsewhere, my wife's name is Sacra and a sign indicated that this was the "Area Sacra." I was disappointed to learn that she did not own any real estate in Rome, but found the place quite a sight. It is said to be one of the oldest ruins in Rome and purported to be near the site of Julius Casar's assassination. Now it is home to about 250 cats which are fed by volunteers. None are visible in the photo, but we saw several roaming around and there were bowls of water and food there for them.
Visit the CASTELLI ROMANI, which are just a short drive from Rome. The view of the volcanic Lake Albano is especially beautiful by night... You can also see the Pope's summer residence in Castel Gandolfo.
There are 2 metro lines in Rome having one connecting point in stazione Termini.
At first the idea of two lines in an X-shape crossing the city seems fairly good. But the poor quality of the services AND the rather long waiting times AND the way too little waggons (capacity) of the metro make it an agonious trip at any time of day.
Use the buses - if they happen to run...
ANTICA CAFFE DELLA PACE
Via della Pace 5 [just off Piazza Navona] Reservations recommended for late evening, even if you only plan to drink.
Caffè della Pace is an anomaly: it's very, very old, and still very, very trendy. The tables wrap right around the coblestone corner, and yet on any given evening nearly every one will be occupied or marked 'reserved.' In winter, the beautiful people move indoors, into a toasty atmosphere of rococco sculptures and huge floral arrangements. A light snacks menu is served throughout the day, along with coffee, and there's a full bar (but prices are high by Rome standards).
