If I had to choose one word to describe Massimiliano's place, it would be SECURE! There is a gigantic door to the apartment building that requires a key, followed by a gate that requires a key, followed by a door that requires a key, and then five flights of stairs and the windows are barred. You will feel very safe, haha! The decor and furnishings are very basic, but the apartment is large and the shower is nice. It wasn't a cute apartment, but it suited our purposes and it was incredibly close to the colosseum and on the edge of the cute neighborhood Monti. Don't forget the cash tourist tax...
