Elena’s place was wonderful! It’s about a 8-10 minute walk (feels very short) to the nearest metro stop, which then gives you access to all of Rome!! We used the apartment more as a place to just crash at night, leaving early in the morning and arriving late at night. Elena’s apartment was perfect for this! She was very friendly and communicated quickly and helpfully in response to any questions we had. It is easy to find, clean, affordable, and far enough away from tourist attractions that the restaurants and fruit shops on the walk to the metro cater to locals - an added bonus. We loved our stay in Rome, and Elena’s place helped us do so.
