Our experience staying at Elena's apt was great! the apt looks exactly like the photos you see on the profile. We stayed in the apt for 4 days. it is in a really nice area outside of the busy touristy center, but a short bus ride away to the center I would say about a 15 minute ride to the colosseum. There is a grocery store, fruit and veggie market, pharmacy and great Gelato around the corner. We were in Italy for week and a half and Elena's apt was our favorite.

Just remember to get her surname before you go to the apt because that is what you will need to buzz into the building mainly for people who will not have cell service in the country. Thankfully as we arrived to the building Elena's son happened to be outside and showed us the way. He lives right next door with Elena's father who was really helpful and let us into the apartment. If this place is available for your time in Rome book it!
