Elena’s place was comfortable, safe, and as described. It is about 20-25 minutes from Termini station and right across the street from the bus stop, which takes you to the Metro B line. You can also walk to the Metro station, which takes about 10 minutes if you cut through the park. Elena has some dogs and a cat, but she is extremely respectful of your space and ensures you’re comfortable with the animals. I love dogs so it wasn’t a problem at all. The dogs are quiet and really friendly, and I rarely ever saw them. Elena’s place has a couple of great restaurants nearby and a few excellent gelato spots. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Rome!
