The only downside of staying with Simonetta and her husband is that you won't want to leave! Their place is perfectly situated within an easy 20 minute walk to the colosseum and 30 minutes walk (or a short tram ride) from the train station, close to so many tourist attractions while still feeling very much in lived-in Rome, not surrounded by crowds of tourists. Very safe, too, I am a 21-year-old female traveling alone and came back relatively late at night and felt very comfortable in the area. Both rooms are sparkling clean with comfortable beds, fast wifi, and nice showers. More than that, though, Simonetta and Marco were an absolute joy to interact with-- they made me feel immediately at home, indulged my caffeine addiction with extra espresso, provided me with a map and recommendations, and were very patient with my beginning Italian. Also, they have two small dogs, both of whom are absolutely adorable. Basically, they became my surrogate Italian parents and I would stay here in a heartbeat if I return to Rome. 10/10. Mille grazi!!
