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.
