The apartment was in a perfect location. However, if you are tall, I would check out other places to stay before booking this one. I'm around 6" tall and showering was virtually imposible. To use the only shower in the apartment, I had to shower on my knees. The closest subway station is a 10 minute walk and the Trevi Fountain is literally steps from the front door. If you're used to keeping your home cool (68 degrees), Alena's apartment may be too warm for you (especially if you sleep upsatairs). If you are older or traveling with older people or grandparents, then you may want to go to Rome in the winter instead of the summer. When we landed it was 103 degrees, and because walking is inevitable in Ancient Rome, my grandmother had to stay in the apartment most of the time. Other than a few down sides, the apartment was ok and it's definitely in a good location.
