We truly enjoyed our time in Rome and Simonetta and her place made it a once in a lifetime adventure for our family. Her place is centrally located to everything you could ever want to see in Rome. With a tram stop only a block away, 10-20 minute walk from all of the main sites, and a $12-15 taxi to the train station we had it all here. Simonetta was a fantastic host, responsive, friendly, and by the time our week stay was over, she felt like one of the family. With nice touches like a bottle of wine upon our arrival, chocolates, and breakfast pastries she made us feel right at home when we arrived. The mattresses (especially the main bed) are super comfy which is huge for me since I have a bad back and have a hard time sleeping when traveling most time. The patio area is great - we were here in the winter so there was limited time for us to spend there. The neighborhood has great shops, restaurants, and cafes and while busy it was normally very quiet. Only on Saturday evening was it a bit loud but mostly because someone decided to go out on a balcony and have a few drinks near the space. Washer machine, hair dryer, and strong wifi were all great adds to our stay. Our daughter was studying at the local college (John Cabot University) and this was perfect for us to stay close to her and be in the heart of Roma. I highly recommend Simonetta and her place and this will be the place to stay if we ever can get back to Italy.
