We loved staying at Simona's Home of Music for 11 nights. From the very beginning, correspondence was fast and Simona even arranged for our transportation from Rome airport directly to the front door where she was waiting for us. She explained all details of the apartment right away, gave us keys for the 4 doors and left me with her phone number in case we needed to reach her. The location, building and apartment could not be any better for those wanting to experience the life of a real Roman. The apartment is on the 4th floor, so the small elevator is good for when you are carrying luggage or groceries. The apartment was clean and the sofa bed was extremely comfortable. The location is in a busy area at night so if you have the windows open, you will hear a lot of street noise and smell cigarette smoke wafting up. If this bothers you, just close the windows. During the days, you hear the ringing of church bells all over the city, and sometimes even accordion music being played at the neighborhood trattoria. After a few days there, the internet stopped working but after a quick text to Simona, it was up and working within a few short hours. The apartment is centrally located and you can walk to many sights. I highly recommend staying at her apartment and we certainly hope that we can stay there again when we return to Rome. It was an unforgettable experience!
