Massimo's place is great! He is a very helpful and nice host as well. The location is about a 30 minute walk from the colosseum... which is away from the tourist. For me it was nice I got to experience what it is like to "live" in Rome with Massimo's place. Plenty of markets and food. The walk to the train station Tuscalana took maybe 10 minutes. Would stay here again 100%. Plus it was very safe.
