This was a great place to stay. Simone was a good host. He took the time to go over some of the area with us and he even provided us with an emergency cell phone. Luckily, we did not need to use it, but it was very comforting to have the cell phone. The bakery downstairs was wonderful to have and the market that set up outside was very convenient. Since there is so much activity, the only drawback might be the noise at times. Overall, the apartment was wonderful and if we were to stay in Rome, I would book this apartment again.
