TLDR: If you want to rest and sleep well during your trip to Rome - this is not the apartment for you. At the same time, the apartment is in an excellent location in the Trastevere neighborhood - close to tons of restaurants and bars.
We stayed in Elena's apartment for 4 days in September.
In general, the apartment is in good condition and the location is in an excellent location in the Trastevere neighborhood - I mean, in the quiet part of the noisy neighborhood.
At the same time, every day at 03:00 in the morning, there is a garbage truck that passes under the window and collects the glass bottles of the restaurant that is under the apartment.
So even if you sleep with earplugs, there's no way you won't wake up to the sound of the shattering glass. After that, every day at 05:30 there is a regular garbage truck that collects the garbage on the street - all this is added to the noisy street and the restaurant workers who smoke under the windows of the apartment and all the smoke enters the apartment.
It is important to note that the windows are not soundproof and since the apartment has no air directions, if you are staying there during the summer (or September like us) you will probably sleep with the windows open since at any given moment it was over 30 degrees in the apartment.
We were also unlucky, because on the third day of our stay, there was infrastructure work under the window during the whole day, so if I have to sum up the experience in Elena's apartment, it would be a tiring and exhausting experience accompanied by sleepless nights.
Every day we woke up at 03:00 for at least twenty minutes and again at 05:30 and this was after long and busy days in which we traveled and walked a lot.
In addition, the code for the key box, with which you do the self-check-in, was wrong, and if it weren't for the cleaner who came after our arrival, we probably would have spent a lot of time outside since Elena was not available.
I don't know if it's a translation problem but when we complained about the communication she said she wasn't sorry and that she cant help us a thing cause she's not in Rome.
As I said in the beginning, if you want to rest and sleep well during your trip to Rome - this is not the apartment for you. At the same time, the apartment is in an excellent location in the Trastevere neighborhood - close to tons of restaurants and bars.
