Simon met us in the apartment as we agreed and made us feel welcome right away. He went over all of the places you can visit in Rome and even showed some districts were you could grab a bite and recommended gelato place (go there!). The apartment was nice and bright, fairly close to everything. It was a little noisy on the weekdays mornings because of the market downstairs, but if you won't be sleeping (and you shouldn't while in Rome) past 8 am you will be fine. Also there is a great late night drink spot on the same street ('Goodfellas') go there for a late night drink and you won't be disappointed. We loved Rome and the apartment.
