Massimo's flat is in a great location! We were only a minute walk from the tram or metro which takes you directly to the colosseum/vatican etc. We were greeted upon arrival by his wonderful housekeeper Ms. Agnese who gave us the full tour. We didnt realize how amazing the open window view would be until we arrived. Its truly beautiful. The loft itself is designed beautifully and felt so comfortable! There are elevators in the apartment building as well as a doorman so we felt very safe in the area. There was an instance where we locked ourselves out of the apartment, but Massimo was ready to help us with with no hesitation (even though it was a 30 minute drive for him). Highly recommended to anyone who would like to get a feel for rome, while avoiding staying in tourist central. There are many authentic restaurants and cafes nearby.
