elga's place is located in a very nice district in san lorenzo very near to the train station. it is within 30 minutes walk from colosseum and there are many ways of transportation for around the city. although elga was not present alessandro her co-host showed me around(he is very friendly, but he does not speak any english so a minus in my book for a host although you can communicate with him) and elga instructed through the phone for any details about the house and how to navigate the city. and to boost the price to stay was very low in comparison to other places in rome that are even further from the historical centre. so everything was very nice. but there is a big BUT. the bed that i was sleeping had bed bugs that from the second day of my three days stay begun biting me. at first it was not serious but the last night i couldn't sleep and at the morning i had more than 40 bites mainly in my hands and feet and some in head. as you can imagine this ruined my experience and affected also my following days in italy because of the constant itch and how aesthetically bad the bitten parts looked. maybe this was a one time event but nevertheless it is something i expect from a hostel and not an airbnb with good reviews. so although all the pros the place had i wouldn't stay again even without paying. i hope that this does not happen again and everything is good for ellga and her business but i couldn't in good conscience recommend someone to experience the same situation as me.
