Simone's studio was everything we wanted! It is immaculately clean, airy and comfortable and it was the perfect place to come home to, after 8 hours of wandering around Rome in August, armed with a map and a water bottle!

There is an air conditioner which you can make at night (as anyone who has ever been in Rome in August should appreciate!) and a fully equipped kitchen with a washing machine. Simone is a considerate and helpful host who left bus tickets and maps for us in addition to thoughtfully preparing a very ideal haven in the heart of Rome.

One great advantage of the apartment, which is in a stately old Roman building conveniently near the train station, is that there is a bakery right downstairs (as well as lots of little convenience stores) and every morning (except Sundays) there was a market. So we bought really wonderful fresh fruit to eat with our pastry every morning.

I recommend Simone's place unreservedly!
