My daughter and I spent 10 days at Massimiliano's place and if we could we would give Massimiliano a hundred stars. It was the first time we had used Airbnb so we were a little unsure about this new world. But straight away Massimiliano reassured us by being so helpful. He answered all our queries speedily and effectively, for example we wanted advice about which attractions needed early booking (Sistine Chapel, Borghese Gallery etc) and within minutes he had sent us the advice plus the websites through which one books.
He was there at the apartment to greet us and then spent a lot of time with us explaining the local transport system, telling us where to find local shops, making suggestions about sites and restaurants. Later on when we had a question he got back to us very quickly. One of Massimiliano's suggestions was to download a phone app called Citymapper - this quickly became an essential companion for getting around Rome. Using it, we discovered that is quite possible to get quite quickly from Ciampano airport all the way to Massimiliano's for 1.5 euros !!
The apartment exceeded our expectations - spacious and very comfortable. The photos on the website are accurate and the facilities were great, including good wifi. The apartment was very quiet and the block is in a quiet residential street. It is also very close to local transport links and thus travelling to and from the centre of Rome was extremely easy. Perfect for our needs and a delightful experience.
Rome is a place of wonder and awe and this apartment offered us an ideal base.
