If this place is available, book it without hesitation. It is absolutely outstanding! We just returned from staying at Elena’s place for a week. We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The location of the apartment is perfect. It is in a local, hip area but out of the crowded touristy area. It is about 25 minutes walking distance to spanish steps, 15 minutes to the colosseum and very close to the metro. I suggest walking around. The area is absolutely wonderful and vibrant.
The place is clean and comfortable and has a fully equipped kitchen.
We bought a few things for breakfast for early start days but there are plenty of local places to eat too.
Elena was absolutely amazing as a host. She responded to questions promptly from start to finish. We had several questions throughout the week and she answered swiftly. She met us at checkin time, gave us excellent tips for local restaurants, arranged for pickup and drop off to and from the airport, made reservations for Enzo restaurant when I couldn’t get through to them, and actually found us a local place to eat late Sunday night when we arrived tired and hungry.
She definitely helped make our first trip to Rome a very memorable and comfortable one.
Gratzi Elena! We will be back!
