I loved staying at Nela's. The neighbourhood felt like 'real' Rome - not touristy and with places to go with authentic Italian food and drink. It was still super easy to access the centre of town via tram/metro/bus - taking about 30 mins, or somedays I walked too. Nela was very helpful and her apartment was lovely to stay in - especially the balcony, which was perfect for a bit of quiet from the business of Rome. I'd love to stay again.
