Loved Elena's place. It was in a nice neighborhood. On a fairly busy street but quiet in the apartment and on the terrace. Recently remodeled, the home was spacious and laid out very comfortably. And she did not use scented cleaning/laundry supplies which was very nice. Elena's place is within easy walking distance to the one good restaurant we were able to sample on our one night there. Other restaurants in the area looked like they would be good too. We wish we'd been able to stay longer in Elena's place during our time in Rome.
