Staying at Simone's place was a great experience for us in Rome! He was a little late for our meeting time which was understandable coming from work during rush hour traffic. The transfer of keys was easy once he arrived and he even had some suggestions of restaurants to visit while in the neighborhood. The neighborhood itself was great! There are lots of little shops and restaurants near by that have good food and atmosphere! Very close walking distance to the Coliseum and some other sites in the area. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're vacationing in Rome!
