This was the best overall apartment we stayed in while in Italy! First, Simone is a fantastic host! He met us at the Metro station and walked us to the apartment (pulling my 50 lb suitcase!). Once there, he patiently went over everything in the apartment and had typed instructions for everything, plus recommendations for different types of restaurants, gelato, markets, etc. He is truly the sweetest guy and cared about making our stay as nice as possible! The apartment is located close to the Colosseum, within a 3 minute walk to a Metro stop, and very close to several restaurants and a 24-hour market. This apartment had the least amount of stairs of anywhere during our whole trip – only 1 flight! It also had lightning-fast internet (about 100 MB/sec download speed), which was at least 10 times better than any other place we stayed (some places only had 1 MB/sec speeds!). It was also the only apartment with only one AC unit for the whole apartment (somewhat “central” air?) that worked great. Also, it was the only place where we actually slept well – Italians must like hard beds and flat pillows – but this place had softer beds and pillows that weren’t flat!! The décor was tasteful, calming, and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked for cooking. Simone even left us a bunch of Nescafe pods, all of which I think my teens used (sorry Simone)! If we ever return to Rome, I would most definitely stay in this apartment again – I wouldn’t even look anywhere else!
