Simona's flat is located in an excellent part of Rome, right in front of Vatican City. Lots of restaurants and markets seconds/minutes away. A bus stop is located right across the street, so are ATMs and stores to also purchase bus passes from. There is also a train station 5 minutes away, walking. The location was my absolute favorite thing about this flat. I stayed for 10 days during the first and second week of July. It was hot but not terribly uncomfortable and it helps that it gets cool at night. There is no AC inside, only a fan. It wasn't a major issue and I kept the door to the balcony open. It was wonderful. Her family hang dries their laundry on the balcony, so that's something to be aware of for privacy matters. You also have to walk about four flights of very steep stairs to get inside. That was my only issue. After walking around for hours in the heat, coming back to that was exhausting. It's the steepness of the stairs that makes it challenging. The room looks just like the images shown and the bathroom is like a basement bathroom you would have in the U.S. There's no window so it's dim and small but comfortable. Overall, it's a beautiful building and it was great to live amongst the locals and be so close to everything. I walked everywhere mostly, but if it was too hot I easily hopped on one of the buses surrounding the neighborhood. I was able to contact Simona if I needed anything and her family was more than willing to help me if she wasn't in. They were all very nice and welcoming. I was a solo female traveler, so feeling comfortable was important. I would definitely reccommend this place, especially if you're traveling solo. The location alone makes it worth while. I had a wonderful time and can't wait to return.
