Wow. What a lovely stay we've had at Simone's apartment! The location is excellent - within 10mins walk to major attractions including the Coliseum and yet quiet enough for a restful sleep. Simone was the perfect host. He'd kindly recommended us a restaurant for our birthday meal and also made the reservation for us. (He even offered to organise our airport transfer, although we decided to take the bus instead). He greeted us warmly on day 1, and was very easy to get hold of via whatsapp - but gave us plenty of privacy to enjoy our city break alone. He gave us recommendations of good breakfast places and meals. We were not expecting the fresh fruit, milk, free teas & Italian coffee and snacks on arrival. :) The flat itself was charming and beautifully designed and thought out. Whilst we did not use the full kitchen facilities (or dishwasher and washing machine), we did use the iron and expresso maker. Shower was lovely. Bed and sofa very comfortable. Clean, tidy and a real bargain compared to other hotels in the area. Simone even allowed us to check out later than expected. Highly recommended. Perfect for couples. If you need to stay somewhere in Rome, look no further than Simone's apartment. :)
