Elena's place was a great location from which to check out Rome, the bus stop is right around the corner that goes to many of the historic sites, and the metro is a short walk away. We enjoyed getting a feel of modern Rome here in addition to our exploration of the historic part of the city. It's clean, cozy and Elena and Fabio made us feel at home during our stay. One day, due to maintenance work, there was a chance we'd lose water service for 24 to 36 hours (it didn't come to fruition) and Elena went out of her way to notify us in advance and provided us with jugs of water in case we did lose water service. Just one example of the great hospitality from the host. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Rome.
