Simona was such a lovely host. She kept in contact in the months leading up to our trip, and made sure we had all the information we needed. She greeted us very warmly when we finally arrived and thoughtfully provided lots of basic provisions to keep us going for the first day, along with helpful info about the local area. The apartment was even nicer than we'd hoped. The ad doesn't capture the wonderful high ceilings and beautiful polished concrete floors. It's actually very spacious. One of our party even took over the little 'maid's bedroom', and was quite comfortable there, although he lacked for a little table or something to put things on. All the beds were very comfortable and the apartment was quite well insulated against the June heat. We didn't need the A/C much at all. Our one complaint (and this is very minor) was that we couldn't get the Sky TV to work. We were there during Brexit and were wanting English language news, but were defeated. We didn't care enough to call Simona about it though. Also the apartment has no iron or ironing board. I think this is some odd Italian fire risk/nanny state thing and nothing to do with Simona. We just had to embrace our wrinkles. Prati proved the perfect choice of Roman neighbourhoods. It's really quite elegant with very nice shops and some great dining choices. We never felt unsafe when walking about in the evening, and it has none of the madness and crowds of the historic centre, although those fun parts of Rome are an easy walk across the river. The Metro proved a blessing. Lepanto station is a two minute walk away and we ended up using the Metro system a lot to visit places like the Colosseum, Palazzo Barberini, Borghesi Gardens and the Spanish Steps, and also Cinecitta (which is highly recommended for film buffs). It's a very easy system to work out. Unlike the buses. We decided to try our luck catching the 87 one afternoon and it never showed up. Our fellow would-be passengers were just as dismayed as we were. We did use Uber a couple of times, too - a bit pricey! The one time actually found and used a regular taxi it was a quarter of the price and still a very nice and clean car. All up I recommend Simona's Prati apartment highly. We returned to it very gratefully after every day's excursion, and will happily stay there again. Thank you, Simona!
