Our home away from home, truly! Staying at Max's home was an amazing experience. It's not often you stay in a new country, new city, and feel at complete ease when you lay down your head at night. Max's home definitely provided the comforts of home, including smiles, laughter, delicious food and warmth.

The accommodations were simple and inviting, very clean and . He provided towels, bedding, converters, washer, drying line, TV, full bathroom, bedroom air conditioning, and a welcoming bottle of wine. We also had free range of the kitchen that was fully stocked.

We had our privacy, but we were also invited into Max's world.

He showed us around his neighbourhood which was so very quaint. We frequented the local restaurant EDEN a number of nights as their food was divine. Met local vendors, cafe owners, restaurateurs, and shop owners.

Max is an unreal tourguide as we discovered the following day after our arrival. He offered a tour through the city, pointing out major tourist stops, bus stops, do's as don't's, traditions, stories, art history, city history. And he showed off his culinary talents, as we had a cooking lesson. Excellent dinner of Carbonara and Wine, great company and wonderful memories.

Thank you to Massimiliano! Our Roman holiday was everything we dreamt it would be. We'll see you soon! That's a promise.
