Max was just awesome! He welcomed us at the train station and then took us around to see some of the local sites around his neighborhood. He even took us to a place that showed a panoramic view of the city. It was truly great! He then took us to a local restaurant for authentic "Roman" cooked food. It was so good! He was such a wonderful host and was so very helpful during our whole trip. His apartment is in a very safe neighborhood. Buses are easily accessible (just be sure to VALIDATE your ticket; otherwise you will be very sorry)! Max made us all feel very welcome in Rome. He had a bottle of wine waiting for us, as well as some fresh fruit to snack on. I'm so glad we stayed here! Max, you're the best!
