Communication between us and Massimo was outstanding. He's a kind and helpful host and the accomodation that he offers is also very good. The apartment was situated in a pretty quiet neighbourhood of Rome but still connected to the city by public transport with many routes that would take you to Tiburtina train station then off to the city center with the underground. There are many shops near the apartment including an Auchan hypermarket and also quite a few pizzerias and bakeries.
