Max was an amazing host. He welcomed us with locally made canoli and wine which was very much appreciated. Printed sheets with information on local facilities was found to be very valuable. Max's apartment is in a great location. It is within walking distance of a Metro station, supermarket and some good restaurants. The main entrance to the Vatican is an easy two kilometre walk. We did this walk on a number of occasions.
The apartment was very clean and was well stocked with towels, bedding, kitchen equipment and food staples.
We had four adults in the apartment for a week. Even though the bedrooms are quite generous we found the lack of a lounge/living area problematic. In the evenings we often found ourselves sitting on the sofa and the bed in the main bedroom. This may not be a problem with many travellers but we are close friends who enjoy chatting over a glass of wine or coffee.
During our stay, Rome was experiencing high temperatures and humidity. There is air conditioning in both bedrooms but not in the kitchen/dining area. The a/c is noisy but efficient. Fortunately, the local area is quiet so opening the window at night when temperatures cool down is optional.
Overall all, Max's apartment is a good apartment in a reasonably quiet location.
