Simonetta's place is special. Across the street, you can see the back of the Palatine Hill/Forum complex from 2 of the windows, so you are really right in the heart of ancient Rome. Capitolina Hill is <5 mins and Circus Maximus is at the end of the street. We were completely immersed in old Rome yet on a street with relatively few cars and few pedestrians. Everything you want to see is less than 20 mins away including Trastevere (Vatican is a bit further). The saturday morning farmer's market in the adjacent building was cool and the gormet shop at the end of the street was first rate. It was super quiet at night.
The apartment has that old world lived in feel. Importantly, the 2 ac units performed well as long as the shutters were kept shut during the sunny hours. We had 5 adults and were comfortable. It was also very clean. We ate out all the time (it's rome... we wouldn't think of cooking there... and heating up a kitchen in July is just dumb).
Simonetta organized a shuttle from the airport (Thanks!) and was there to greet me for check in. She checked in by text a few times but left us alone. We would stay there again and again! Thank you, Simonetta, for sharing this fabulous apartment with us.
