We booked Elisa's place a last minute, and I didn't expect much. But when we arrived to Rome, and got to Elisa's apartment, our expectations were exceeded in every way. Communication with the co-host Carlotta was perfect (we used Whatsup app btw). She let us into apartment before cleaners arrived just to get rid of our luggage, which was very helpful. Also with Carlotta's help we found the best way to book tours to Colloseum, Vatican, etc., how to use Metro (subway), how to use taxi, we got Rome's maps - everything you need to see Rome. For us it was very very useful, since we came to Rome not very prepared, but we saw really a lot in four days. Apartment was our life saver. Location - perfect. Vatican very very close (5 min walk), all other big destinations - either 20 min walk through a beautiful parts of old Rome (like walking to Trevi fountain or Spanish Steps), or Metro ride 20 min (to Colloseum).
Apartment itself - spacious, very nice bathroom with washer, very comfortable bed and good extended couch. Most important for us - really nice, quiet air conditioner. It saved us when we came back after long tours in +35C. It was great. The apartment is located at the first floor, which means no step (big plus, less to carry heavy bags), but no view. Windows face a courtyard, so the apartment is very quiet - very big plus living in a middle of busy city. Five stars to this place, thank you Elisa and your team!
