Simone’s place is not fancy but the location is incredible: Minutes from the Colosseum and just as close to both the blue (colosseo) and red (vittorio emanuele) metro lines.
You stay at Simone’s place for its bang-for-the-buck value; not the amenities.
Mind you, you will have everything you need: Large rooms, fully appointed kitchen, ok beds and linens. Yes the decor is a bit tacky, but it is also whimsical and fun.
Also, Simone was very good with his communications and very responsive. So you can trust that what is described will be provided; and if it is missing, he will get it to you.
In the end, we are very glad to have stayed in this apartment. For the value conscious who don’t require hotel-level quality, we highly recommend!
