We had an amazing stay in Rome and Elena's apartment. I hesitated to write this review, thinking I should keep this one a secret for future trips. First, Elena is a wonderful host. Our arrival time kept fluctuating, and when we finally arrived she ran from a birthday party to meet us in just a few minutes. A very sweet kind easygoing friendly person who instantly made us feel welcome. Check in could not have been easier. Check out the same, we left very early. She told us where best place to get taxi to FCO and price to expect. The apartment was fabulous. Very clean. Not a huge space, but exactly as pictured and the room works so well. There is deep open shelving which worked great for suit cases. The bathroom is new and wonderful. Rainfall shower. Plenty of towels, and she offered to bring more. The bed was wonderful. Neither of us moved all night. Could have been the bed, could have been the Aperol Spritz. Saving the best for last, the view. Unbelievable view and for the price, a true gem. To watch the Pantheon wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night, is something only few of us get to experience. Lifetime memories. This was our 4th time to Rome, and this location we have found is the best. It's very central to Rome's best shopping, restaurants, coffee bars, museums, sights and sounds. The piazza is alive and noisy most of the day, close the windows and we rarely heard a thing. The value for this location is amazing. We were concerned about the steps at first when we booked, but it really did not end up being a problem. There're are 49 steps. After a day or so we got used to it. I wouldn't let that stop me from booking again. Overall, best stay we have had in Rome. Location, accommodations, host, value were all amazing.
