We didn't meet Simona but her friend checked us in, she was very nice. Simona returned our messages quickly, was very nice, and checked in to make sure we were doing alright. The place was clean and outfitted with a nice kitchen. It's a bit small but a good deal for Rome and a great location. It could be a little noisy at night but it's a central location in a big city so I think that is to be expected. I recommend this place for visiting Rome a few days.
