The location of the apartment is absolutely perfect for sightseeing and within walking distance of all the main attractions. Elena offered to arrange travel between the train station and the apartment. We chose to walk instead to enjoy Rome in the evening. She then offered what bus we could take and we decided to take her up on her suggestion. The bus worked great, although we were unprepared for how inaccurate our cell service was. I was unable to text responsively to let Elena know when we were close and the street was un-named on google maps or most street maps so we didn't know where to go when we got off at the appropriate stop. Thankfully Elena's husband went out looking for us and found us! He then walked us to the apartment, showed us around and made sure we knew how to work the old fashioned door. (awesomely large keys!) We were very pleased with the apartment and the amenities included. We were very pleased to find a clothes washer, drying rack, iron and ironing board and full length mirrors.
