One word for our stay with Simonetta: AMAZING. Not only is she a wonderful host, her place is nothing short of magical. The neighborhood is absolutely stunning, and centrally located like you would not believe. Bars and restaurants are literally right next door, downstairs and across the cobblestone lane from the apt. The neighborhood is buzzing with locals as well as students and tourists. All of the major places you want to see, the Coliseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain,etc. are ALL within easy walking distance. When we arrived she had a complimentary bottle of wine, fruit and croissants waiting for us. She arranged a shuttle from the airport which was a HUGE convenience. Now...let me tell you how she went absolutely above and beyond as a host. We traveled out of the country then returned to Rome a few days later, and booked a different airbnb apt. When we arrived to the other apt it was not at all what we expected. Both the neighborhood and the apt were rundown and we felt we needed to get out fast! I decided to contact Simonetta to see if there was any chance her place was available. Unfortunately it was booked, nevertheless, she told me she would make a few calls to friends and see if she could find us a place. Within 30 minutes of communication via airbnb messages she put me in contact with a friend of hers. Her friend immediately contacted me and we made arrangements to stay at her property. I only realized afterwards that it was after 1 am! The rest of our stay in Rome ended up being wonderful because of her and her wonderful friend! They truly saved our trip. My traveling companion and I are exceedingly grateful to her and cannot recommend her enough! I absolutely recommend her hands down and will definitely be choosing her apt on my next trip to Rome.
