I loveeee Elena's apartment. Go ahead and book it right now even if you are a woman who is traveling by yourself. I usually stay in hotel for safety but as soon as I saw Elena apartment I booked it thanks to the review and the terrace. I was nervous since I have never book an apartment and didn't know what should expect. First, it was close to the train station and it was a big plus since i had been dragging my suitcase for almost 10 days and was too tired to walk big distance. The apartment is really nice and the terrace is as beautiful as you see it in the picture. I was too tired for traveling around Italy and I spent a lot of time there relaxing. I can also tell you that it was much better than the three 4 star hotels I stayed in Italy. It was like staying home. The bed was the most comfortable that I slept over there. Italians tend to use very firm mattresses in the hotel. It was very hot in Rome that weekend and the A/C is a big plus.
the neighborhood is close to everything and there is a tram if you don't want to walk the 20 minutes to the city center. It is a regular hood so you find many grocery stores and coffee shop right when you step out. Go to the small India restaurant three doors from the building. The food was very good and is home made. They do take out. Thank Elena again for everything. As I told you I'll stay at your place again.
PS: Elena was always available which really helped me a lot.
