Massimo’s place is a great location for exploring Rome. It’s on a quiet street only a few minutes walk from the river. Once over the river the main touristy spots are all within 20-30 mins walk.
Trastevere is a lively area in the evening with plenty of bars and restaurants, also supermarkets and bakeries are within a few minutes walk from the apartment.
The apartment itself is basic, the kitchen has everything you need, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms very clean. It is up 3 flights of stairs with no lift, so not at all suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The terrace is up another flight and a narrow metal staircase (not for the faint hearted) but the view is worth the climb.
Massimo was a wonderful host, he booked airport transfers for us and recommended local restaurants that could cater for a difficult food intolerance, nothing seemed too much trouble.
