Max is indeed a great host! You cannot wish for more. His house is conveniently located in a beautiful and safe area in the city in a friendly neighborhood where you can find everything you need: a pizza house, a truly Italian restaurant, a coffee and gelato shop. Once you get there, you immediately feel like home. The apartment is super clean and cosy. When we get there Max had prepared for us a bottle of wine, fruit and sweets, clean towels, a map of the city and a guidebook. Most importantly he was there to meet us in person and provide a handful of important tips on exploring the city. He was always ready to help, advise and acted more like a good friend rather than a host! Max is very intelligent and smart. We enjoyed our talks about real life in Italy, politics or and global developments. We enjoyed our stay with Max at his Roma palace :) and fell in love with Rome. Max should definitely open his own guest house as he is a great host and enjoys this role. If you travel to Rome and look forward to experiencing real dolce vita, chose Max as your host!
Good luck to you, Max!!!
