We stayed with Carla for 5 nights and were very happy with our decision.

The room is large and consists of a bed with a table and chairs. Carla set the table with plates, cutlery and some breakfast foods for when we arrived. Having the table and chairs in our room gave us some separate private space which was nice.

The apartment is located approximately 40 minutes from termini station. This is the total time it should take, including the time it takes to wait for the bus or train, travel time and walking to her apartment.

There are two options we used for transportation to/from termini. The first option is a 2 minute walk to the bus stop and taking the 90 express, which takes 25 minutes depending on traffic. The second is a 20 minute walk to Conca D'oro and taking the metro. Same price for both. Trains run more frequently than the buses, so if you don't mind the walk it is the more consistent method.

A tip: If you have a lot of luggage you should take the train and walk as the 90 express is often very full.

The area is great. A 3 minute walk to a large supermarket. Lots of places to eat. I recommended Pizzeria de la Conca D'oro, located on your walk back from the Metro stop. I also recommend Boun Appetito, located just around the corner from the apartment. The first is a bit fancier but with great prices. It aslo gets amazing reviews on tripadvisor. The second is a hidden gem where the locals eat with great prices and great service - Pizza starting at $4 euros. (take away and eat in)

Carla is kind, warm and welcoming. We felt very comfortable in her place. We recommend this to anyone going to Rome!
