Why don't you take virtualbox or vmplayer?
Choosing QEMU in such a case is masochism pure.
I've had quite smooth sailing using KVM with libvirt\QEMU and it
works just fine, just like virtualbox, and I don't have to install
and manage additional hypervisor on my host.
With "virt-manager" [1] GUI app it is simple to manage guests and
virtual network, at least for x86_64 architecture it is working great.

I second this. I run Windows (for taxes), debian, reactos, tails and
suse VMs using virt-manager and libvirt\QEMU.
I even run weather station software 24/7 in a VM.
You can pass usb ports through to the vm ... like in updating Garmin
GPS in Windows. The networking is taken care of by virt-manager. You
can use NAT (for a private address in the 192.168.x.x range) or direct
connection through the host ethernet port to my LAN in the 172.16.x.x
range. virt-manager will even connect to a remote machine (over the
LAN with ssh tunnel) to run VMs on that machine just as if they were
on the local host. Each VM has its own window on the host (I use kde)
where you can run text or graphical interfaces with mouse and keyboard
support ... even VMs on remote host.

Thanks for the replys. I just needed to pay more attention to the
virt-manager capabilities. RTFM as usual. The connection works fine now.
Thanks again
