Simone's Place is the perfect place to stay in Rome. The apartment is central to everything (five minutes from the Metro station, and being above a bakery and pizzeria didn't hurt either!). Simone's hospitality was wonderful and the fact that he gives you maps and a cell phone to use during your stay turned out to be wonderful for us. When (not IF) we return to Rome we will definitely stay at Simone's again. The experience of leaning out the front window and watching the action on the street was worth it and the cost for this apartment is amazing. Thank you Simone! You were wonderful! Bob & Mary Ann
