We stayed at Simone's place for 4 nights during our stay in Rome. It's a comfortable apartment on Montebello. There is a bakery and a dynamite pizza place just next door. There is a market nearly every morning on the street. This is a homey neighborhood and totally safe. It is 5 minutes from the train station and withing walking distance to the major sites in Rome. We did some walking and some cabbing. The apartment has a large bedroom/dining area with plenty of room. The bed was super comfortable for us. The A/C worked fine. The small kitchen is fine - we bought stuff for breakfast. The bathroom was also fine with a good shower. There is also a loft with a bed which we didn't use. Simone met us when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful. He left a bottle of Persico for us. Compared to the hotels we stayed it in Venice and Florence, Simone's place is a super value.
