I spent 19 days at Elly's place. It was great spending time with Elly and her family.
Elly is an extremely accommodating host. She keeps the house super-clean and you would get your own room in the basement to sleep in, which also has a TV. You could work (like I had to), in their living area. Her WiFi connection is very reliable, given that the mobile connection could be poor in the area. She has a one-year-old, and the house could be very lively.
During the three weeks I spent at her place, she first served cakes, secondly, croissants, and thirdly, toasted bread with jam. She also has a Nespresso machine which she generously made available for coffee anytime during the day (which I badly needed when I was working).
There is a Pizza restaurant and a cafe within walking distance from Elly's place. They serve nice food for a reasonable price. Those helped me with the rest of the meals.
She also took great care of my laundry and took a lot of trouble to get them dried with the winter slowly starting.
The house is located ~40 mins away from Rome Central Station (Roma Termini). You would have to take the Metro (Line B) and then change in EUR Magliana to the train (Roma Lido) to Cristoforo Colombo. The closest train station to the house is Casal Bernocchi - Centro Giano, and Elly's home is ~15 mins away from the station. If you have heavy luggage, it is best to arrange for her to pick you up. If you would be on foot, get down from the Centro Giano side of the station, and follow Maps.
I traveled to Rome and Vatican over the weekends during my stay at Elly's. Staying close to the station made those trips more convenient. Elly arranged to drop me at the station when I left.
I would certainly stay with Elly next time I am in Rome and have time to do more traveling rather than work.
Thank you for your hospitality, Elly! Ciao!
