Staying with Max and Daniella was a great experience. Their home is in a quite, safe, and easily-accessible neighborhood. The apartment is a 3-5 minute walk to busses that can either go to nearby metro stops or right into downtown Rome. One short bus ride and a few stops on the metro will put you at the Spanish Steps in 20-25 minutes. We also really liked that the apartment was a bit outside of Rome because (1) it's not at all touristy and (2) the grocery shops and restaurants in their neighborhood aren't going to scam you. There's only one bathroom for the three guest rooms, which was a bit tricky at times, but this was only a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would definitely recommend it.
