Massimo’s apartment is very well put together and has a very efficient design. Interesting artwork and decoratives abound. The loft provides just enough separation and privacy to comfortably fit three to four adults. The amenities all work well and the place was very clean. Being near the Vatican and having never been to Rome before, I was bit anxious that we would feel a bit removed from everything that's available in the city center, but I was pleased to find a lot of highly rated and regarded restaurants and bars around the area. It's pretty close to a couple grocery stores too and only a 15 minute walk to the Metro (train) or a 5 minute walk to the bus lines that can take you to the city center. Massimo is a top-notch host too. He left out a bevy of fruits, let us have free access to a crate of bottled water (even though the tap water is totally safe to drink), provided useful maps, talked us through the nearby features, and did so in very good English. Which was good because my Italian is terrible. The one aspect of the apartment that was not perfect was the noise from the neighbors in the adjoining units. The neighbors were all very respectful but the walls of the structure did seem a bit thin and so we could hear very clearly when our neighbors entered and left their units and when they were moving about. It’s really a minor quibble as it didn’t really effect my sleep too much and I hear that Rome is notorious for having thin walls, but it’s something to keep in mind.
