Simona's place was excellent as was she. Simona met us on arrival and explained everything to us. The apartment was within walking distance 10-12 mins of the Vatican, and about 5 mins to either public buses or a hop-on-hop off bus that took us to many other sights. This was our first time in Rome but we would definitely stay at Simona's again. She even helped arrange car transport back to the airport which was cheaper than a taxi. 5 stars.
