The apartment of Simone is very cool in summer (we stayed at the end of July). All highlights are at walking distance. We walked to the colloseum, Vatican, trebi fountain, Spanish steps, Villa borghese, piazza del poppolo and of course castel st Angelo. The toilet, shower and kitchen were useful but small. The espresso/coffee machine was nice for the first cup of the day and Simone provided us with just enough coffee for our stay. A small supermarket and restaurants are very close to the apartment. I would not advice Brassai though, you pay too much for little quality. The proscuiterria is very good,but a walk of 12min or so.
