I really enjoyed staying at Simone’s place. It is both walkable and a short metro ride (one stop to Cavour) away from Termini station which made getting to and from the place very easy. There are a couple of grocery stores nearby too and a ton of restaurants and bars just across Cavour.
The space itself is very nice. I particularly enjoyed how quiet the bedroom is because it faces an inner courtyard that makes it quite private. As a host Simone was easy to communicate with, he responded quickly and was a very nice person overall. I’d recommend the spot highly for first time visitors who don’t want to stay in the middle of Trevi fountain and Spanish steps where it can be very busy and hectic. But even if you do want some of that the Colosseum is very accessible from here which made seeing that part of Rome very convenient, not to mention the other sights are still a pleasant walk away through safe parts of town.
