Carmen's place was perfect for us - Rome is easy enough to see on foot but if you must, Carmen's place is also conveniently located about 10 mins from the nearby metro as well as Termini Railway station where we also took the train down to Naples! There are street vendors that are set up every morning around 7 through 2pm that sell all the fruits, veggies and more - and a big Supermarket (Conad) is also in walking distance (about 10mins) where you can pick up all amenities and groceries. There are also loads of mini markets just about everywhere so very easy! Although we didn't meet Carmen in person, her sister was waiting for us to do the intro, handover, etc - the place is very well equipped and there wasn't anything we needed during our 3 nights stay. Carmen also has a booklet with all the recommendations for nearby bars, restos, etc - although we didn't go to the nearby resto, I'd highly recommend Gelateria La Romana (gelateria) - the place had a line formed until it closed around midnight! Def worth a visit!

All in all, we loved our stay at Carmen's and would highly recommend it to anyone who visits Rome!
