My family wholeheartedly recommend Massimo and Alessandra's apartment! Their apartment is in the perfect location in Rome, especially if you love ancient Rome - walking distance to the the Colosseum, Forum, three of the oldest churches in Rome and much more. There is a taxi stand at a corner about two blocks down from the apartment from where it is a short and easy ride to any site in Rome, and we never paid more than about ten Euros for a ride anywhere and that was for four of us so it came to about 3 Euros a person - very cheap. The apartment is well-decorated and laid out, with lots of windows to let in Sun and light, and really felt like our home for the time we were there. There are many restaurants, cafes and bars in the neighborhood - just be wary of places that cater to tourists and are excessively expensive. If you follow Massimo and Alessandra's tips for places to eat and your own guidebooks, you won't go wrong. Massimo and Alessandra were communicative but not intrusive. We were able to drop our luggage off early because of our early flight arrival time, so we also met Gena who was lovely! We only hope we get the chance to stay at Massimo and Alessandra's place again someday.
Grazie!
