Elena's home has a good value for the experience. The house is a little old fashioned and away from the center (10-15min walking and 25-30min at the metro). For those that want to experience Rome at the most, it's better to stay closer to the center, it's so much to see that in the end of the day 15min walking home does some difference. Elena is nice but her home needs some improvements (better lightning, more confort, new curtains).
