Elena's apartment is great! While it's a little ways out of the center of the city, we enjoyed not being in the hustle and bustle and being in a neighborhood that felt a bit more local. On our last night we went to a restaurant on Via del Pigneto, a really cute street with lots of restaurants about a 10 minute walk from the apartment, that you wouldn't go to if you were staying in the center. We found the 81 bus to be a bit unreliable but the metro was great! Came on time, air conditioned and easy to navigate. When we arrived, Elena's sweet parents let us in, gave us coffee and let us change our clothes in their apartment as we arrived before check-in. Elena's apartment was clean and comfortable and the AC worked perfectly. Elena was super helpful with any questions we had before and during the trip and even arranged for her father to drive us to the airport for the very fair price of 35 euro. Thanks Elena for a great stay in Rome!
