Max is an extraordinary host! He shares his home and culture with enthusiasm, and - in spite of a heavy work load at his job- took time to show us around his wonderful neighborhood. He took us to THE BEST pizza place nearby, pointed us in the direction of fantastic gelato, and made sure we had all the info needed to make our stay with him in Rome absolutely wonderful. I really enjoyed chatting with Max on a wide range of topics, sharing and comparing our perspectives on life, politics, religion, and more. I would highly recommend staying with Max during your trip to Rome!!!
