The location of the apartment is perfect, right in the very heart of the city but not on a busy road - making it the perfect location. Max met us and took time to show us all we needed in the apartment and even took time to walk us to some of the local spots and provided invaluable tips for staying in and getting around Rome. The apartment is perfect, we were traveling as a couple but had our daughter and friend join us. Spotlessly clean, well maintained and with everything one might need - including the added bonus of elbow room (a precious commodity in some places I have stayed). Communication with Lavinia was flawless - thankfully we had the opportunity to meet her on our second day. I cannot say too much about how helpful and responsive Lavinia is - even to the point of ordering separate taxis for us on our day of departure. Hosts as generous and caring as Max and Lavinia are a rare event and turn an ordinary visit into something special.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and will certainly direct friends and family to them. I almost forgot to mention the really helpful manual Lavinia has in the apartment for everything you need or want - Rick Steeves beware!
