Simone and Mara's place is an excellent Airbnb option for guests. The location is just 1/2 block from the Metro A line (last stop on south end) and it takes about 20 minutes to city center - extremely easy and convenient for traveling into Rome and exploring. I was traveling alone, and frequently returned back to the apartment after 21:00 or 22:00 and felt completely safe. American travelers will need to get past the fact that the garbage receptacles for the neighborhood are along the street, it's a bit unsightly at first, but it just is what it is and has no bearing on the area or the apartment! Simone met me on the street and helped me into the apartment, even carried my bag up the two flights of stairs. He helped me get settled into the apartment and walked me through the details, so the checkin process was wonderful. You'll receive a set of keys (4 in total) for the gate, the door to the building and the two locks to your apartment, you'll have it all figured out by the time you checkout :) The apartment is very clean, modern and fully stocked with all the amenities you need. Everything has been thought of. The bathroom is great for travelers and the washer works well. The bed is fabulous - I actually looked to see what it was, I think it's from Ikea - and I slept like a baby! Great place for exploring Rome, quiet and comfortable. I loved the snuggles from the neighbors dog, I wanted to bring her home with me. Simone and Mara also shared recommendations for sights and restaurants; if you make it to the Trastevere area I highly recommend Simone's cousins place Da Bruno - EXCELLENT!! Again, I can't say enough - it was a wonderful place and I'd stay here again in a heart beat - thank you both!
