Max was such a wonderful host, and I consider him now to be a good friend. He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable in his home and comfortable in Rome generally. I had the best time in Rome and it was in large part thanks to Max's hospitality. The flat is within walking distance to the Vatican and you can either walk or take a bus to get to the other major sites. (Max also provides a packet of info on which bus to take, what stop to get off at, etc.) I would highly recommend his flat for anyone staying in Rome!
