Highly recommended. Massimo was in NYC when I emailed him the night before about his apartment. We came to Rome on a whim, and decided to rent a place vs. hang at a hostel. Despite our last minute requests, and Massimo being across the Atlantic, he had no problem letting us stay. He was quick to respond, answered all our questions and was all around great. We met with a woman at the concierge. As you may have read, she did not speak a lick of English, but it was not a problem at all. In fact, she basically said, he always has people coming in and out of here, all these friends! His apartment was beautifully decorated and really reflected Massimos taste. It was clean, comfortable, and felt as if we were living like real Romans. It was a short walk to a supermarket, a great pizza spot, gelato spot, and a metro stop that could easily take you to all the main attractions if you didn't feel like walking. Everyone likes to stay near the train station, but this was just the perfect distance away. The neighborhood was surrounded by locals in a cute apartment community, and much cleaner than staying super central. I would defiantly stay here again if I came back to Rome! Thanks Massimo!
