Emanuela’s home is nice. It has everything you need and is a good price so very good value for Rome. We found, however, that personally, it was too far from the city for us to enjoy staying there. Public transport involves a bus then the metro which (according to google maps) takes around 1 hour 15 minutes to all the main sites in Rome (Colosseum, Spanish Steps etc.) However, in reality, it tends to take much longer to get into town, or to get home from town (no matter what time of the day you go) as the buses are very unreliable and either run 10 mins early or 30 mins late. In 5 days we did not experience a bus ever arriving on time. Emanuela is very nice and so is her sister who checked us in.
