Simone's place was a retreat in a lovely city. We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment and its location was perfect. Walking distance to the termini where you can catch the metro or buses to get around Roma. The lift was not working when we arrived but Simone assisted us with our heavy bags to the apartment on the first floor. He was supposed to come at the end of the stay but there was a public transit strike so there was traffic jams everywhere in Rome. The taxi driver he arranged for us came in time to bring us to the airport and he was a lovely man. Simone was a good host and was prompt in answering questions and making arrangements. The apartment is clean and have all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Nice neighborhood with a market just below the apartment for fruits, vegetables and all kind of knick knacks. We had fun in roma. If only it's not such a brief stay.
