The apartment was very well located-- a short walk to everything. And overall, it did the trick.

That said, I probably would not stay there again. First, it felt a bit outdated (the pictures were much more charming). Second, the wifi was very slow and didn't work in the bedroom. Admittedly, I did not ask it to be fixed, but having read other reviews, I assumed this was a frequent issue. Third, I was very surprised that upon checkin, I was charged an occupancy/hospitality fee (can't remember the name). Granted it was only a few euros per person, per day, but this took me by surprise. I recognize this is paid to the city and not Massimo, but frankly this should be covered in the daily room rate, and if it's not, should be mentioned in the property description. (Full disclosure: I don't speak Italian. When I Google translated the description I'm 99.9% sure it wasn't there). Several friends who've stayed at Rome Airbnbs said they've never had to pay a similar fee.
