I want to be in the center where we can easily take the euro rail. What areas should we look at to find an (aribnb) apartment to rent for 5 days in June 2016

My friend and I booked an apartment in Barcelona through Cross-pollinate. It was a great location. Steve is very helpful. They also run "The Beehive" in Rome, which was perfect for us-Stayed twice. They personally check out each Apartment, unlike Airbnb. Try HomeAway as well.
I have had both good and poor experiences with Airbnb. Check reviews very carefully.

I used Airbnb all through Italy last spring and had great experiences. I would agree that you need to read ALL the reviews and choose apartments with at least 25 or more reviews (the more the better). Also, I just learned there's a filter you can use to choose "super host", which will get you the very best hosts/apartments - although when I used it for Barcelona it ended up with all higher priced locations (too expensive for me!)- but I did use "superhost" filter for other Spain locations (Seville, etc) and found some great gems!
Good luck!
