Simone’s place is the perfect laid back place to stay in Rome (especially on a budget)! It’s clean and in an excellent location! Very close to all major attractions and metro lines (typically within 15-20 min walking). However his air conditioning was not the best. We managed to get the floor plug in air conditioner working which helped, but we wished it were stronger as we were there during the heat wave. If you are looking for a well equipped place (iron, washing machine) then I highly recommend. He even had snacks and a bottle of wine laid out for us. Again, perfect place for a group of people looking to be central to everything and around the corner of the colosseum.
