Elena's home is well-connected to downtown Rome and its attractions, with an easy 15min-20min tram trip into town and maybe a connector bus to a specific attraction. We found it very easy to get our way around Rome from the apartment's location, though the neighbourhood is not the nicest. It felt a bit dodge-y for the two of us, who were two young women. I would never call this a dangerous area, but it was not the beautiful Roman neighbourhood I was expecting to stay in, which of course depends on your standards.
Elena greeted us very warmly and helped us with wifi, directions, and maps. She even made us coffee and tea when we arrived, which was so kind. The home itself is lovely, even if a little dated. It was sparkling clean, and had many amenities for us to use and enjoy. There is a master bed and two very small bunk beds to choose from. I would recommend this place to people working on a budget and not too concerned over having a fantastic location for their Airbnb. Especially because it was well-connected to the city centre.
