We had a great time with our stay in Roma in the Elephant Room. Bed was comfortable, and there is a fan in the room and big door/window to a small outside balcony that kept the room cool for us to sleep. Internet access was awesome for email and Netflix - we did not watch TV even though available.

Aina met us upon arrival and helped us get our bags to the 7th floor - thank GOD for the tiny elevator, but it worked like a charm. Building/room are very secure.

Leslie was laid up, so we never met, but she was extremely helpful with our needs - especially setting up a cab ride for our departure to the Roma Airport - on the day of the Roma Marathon downtown.

For big American like me (5'10" - 250 lbs) bathroom was small, and awkward to navigate, but all things work well. Shower is small, but functional. The water is a tankless water heater and did the job well even when we took back to back showers (no sharing here).

Apartment is in a few block walk of two different subway stations, which when we weren't waling 6-7 miles a day was a great way to get to/from the Vatican on the other side of town. CHEAP ride on the subway - 1.5 euro one way, but crowded most times and during "rush hour" with regular commuters was like a sardine in a can but very easy to navigate.

About 50 feet from the apartment building is a GREAT restaurant - Cavenu which cam recommended by our hosts, and we ate three meals there - one of the best we encountered of two weeks of traveling throughout Italy.

Also two doors down is a laundry business, that will take drop off laundry and it be available to pick up in a few hours - was awesome for us for some items (10 or so) for a reasonable price of 9 euro (and I didn't have to stand around and watch it :).

Would definitely recommend the Elephant Room.
