Elisabetta’s home was a wonderful place to stay during my five day trip in Rome. Elisabetta is super nice and kind — always welcoming when I returned home for the day. The bedroom and bathroom was cleaned and tidied every day, and the place is tastefully decorated. My first two days, I didn’t have time for breakfast in the morning, so Elisabetta gave me a voucher to use at a nearby café. Because I was in a rush, I never went to that café, so she made sure to bring me a delicious pastry from there on my third day! Breakfast is wonderful, with bread, jams, ricotta, and fruit, and you can sit outside and watch the streets as you eat.
Two potential downsides:
- Rome gets hot in the summer! Elisabetta told me her place should be getting A.C. in July, but it doesn’t have it right now. That being said, it cools down at night, and the room included a large fan which did a nice job of keeping me cool throughout the day and night.
- The metro station is a bit of a walk, and the bus is infrequent (which Elisabetta tells you upfront). However, I ultimately didn’t have much of a problem getting around, and was able to see tons of sights and explore the city without a problem.
All in all, I had a great time at her place — I would definitely stay again!
