My 2 girlfriends & I liked Alberta's place. It's 15-20 minutes by tram (aka a trolley) &/or the bus. We found the tram to be a tad bit faster than the bus; both can still be crowded. There is a lot of traffic. Traffic would run flow more if there was more lights, signs, lines on the ground, direction in general, etc (you'll see). The bus stop to take you to the Termini station is literally outside her apartment complex. We took a taxi to her place which cost a total of 25euros. We still aren't sure if that's a lot or average, but u can def take the bus/tram to her house. The tram is 2 mins walking - if that. There is only 1 room. It's basically a kitchen with 2 beds (a full and a twin size) with a private bathroom. The pictures somewhat look like there is 2 or 3 rooms total, but there is only 1. The beds are amazing! Comfy & so warm! There's no oven or stove, but there is a hot plate that you can cook on. She also provides plates, pots, etc to use. She's clean and so is her apartment; spotless. There's a gelato place down the street (90 sec walk south), a pizzeria/restaurant (which is actually 1 eatery & 1 min walk north) & a small off brand grocery store on the side of the bus stop. Gelato & pizzeria/restaurant are inexpensive & so good. Alberta is always available if needed. She rents out her other 2 rooms in the house & the university man was helpful too; knocked on his door twice 4 some advice/suggestions/help & he buzzed us in if 1 of us didn't have the keys (there's only 1 set). My friend is a marathon runner & she needed a place to run. The neighborhood is safe to run in during the day - don't know about the night time. But if u aren't sure about the neighborhood, Alberta emailed me a location along with the direction 4 my friend to run, but u should def be okay just running in the neighborhood; use good judgement. Also, Alberta took us on a mini drive by tour around the city after we went over everything w/ her. Be aware that once the mini tour is over, u are on your own on how to get back to the city. She speaks English; not fluent, but more than enough; more conversational level. Also, 1 of the reviews mentioned a paper that she has her guests sign (4 security/accidental/home insurance purposes I believe, I 4got the reason) but be aware of that as well. I def recommend Alberta.
