We stayed for nine days while in Rome. Massimo's communication was prompt leading up to our stay and the check-in process was very thorough. We found the apartment to be spacious and very clean. The beds were welcoming and comfortable. It was nice to have two bathrooms, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. There is plenty of hot water. We enjoyed having such a nice kitchen for breakfast every morning. The apartment is close to a grocery store which made shopping and hauling groceries back quite easy. There are also several cafes nearby as well. The building itself is very quiet and secure (three locked doors before reaching the apartment). The street is busy and can be noisy at night-not a problem though because you are in Rome after all! The apartment is about a twenty minute walk to the Colosseum and then a bit further from the other major attractions. At first this was okay for us as we like to walk and enjoy the streets and life in the city. By the end of our stay we were getting tired though. There is a bus that is accessible as well as a taxi stand that is just about three blocks away. Our stay was very positive and we'd absolutely consider staying in Massimo's apartment again if we find ourselves in Rome.
