Massimo is awesome!! He communicated with before arrival. He gave us very helpful information on getting from the airport to his apartment, arranged a shuttle at the last minute for our daughter who's flight was delayed and wouldn't arrive until midnight. He also helped us during our stay. Our flight was delayed and he offered to be the contact for delivery of our luggage so we didn't miss our prepaid Vatican tour. So Massimo is the best!!!
The apartment is ideally located to the Colosseum, Forum and walking distance to many other sights. The grocery store is very convenient. The garbage bins outside can get noisy at times but doesn't go on all night. Please note that there is no air conditioning. We knew this but unfortunately arrived during a heat wave (high 90's) and it made it very uncomfortable for sleeping or just trying to rest during the day. There are about 8-10 stairs but very doable and there is a lift also. The top bunk is small and was too hot to use during our stay. I'm sure it would be fine for a child during cooler weather.
