If you have to start your Rome tour in an AirBNB , start with Simona's.
Her apartment is well kept, true to description with upgraded kitchen and bathroom and the little Santa touches during Christmas time were adorable.
There is no dish's washer but that was not a biggie for us.
She had enough trowels, toiletries, sheets for our party of 5.
She had a little instruction booklet listing the local favourites for gelatos , pizza etc. And that was super helpful.
Her apartment is in a central location, you can walk to the Vatican, St Peter's square, Basilica and the Castel Sant'Angelo.
You can do the Hop on Hop Off bus tour from a bus station merely 100 feet from the apartment.
I would seek her out for our next visit and recommend her apartment to our friends wholeheartedly .
Thanks for hosting us,
Vaishali and Harry , all the way from California.
