Simone was a gracious host and I liked his apartment and neighborhood very much. Simone took time to show me some good libraries on map and neighborhoods where I could buy good dinner or shop with fair value (Testaverde and Monti). Simone's neighborhood is close to Termini station, but is full of real Italians, not tourists. I liked the local laundromat and restaurants. Peope in shops were very friendly and courteous. Simone's apartment is quiet and comfortable and very clean, and I had some long sleeps in comfortable big bed. The wifi in apartment is good; I was able to work at desk in bedroom, as well as nearby National Library. The coffee and croissants in cafe next door was best I had in Rome.
