Arriving at Massimo's was a pleasant experience. He was still at work when we arrived, but had left a key at the concierge for his building. The neighborhood was a little out of the way, beyond the old city walls, but it was nice to get away from the hoards of tourists. Being in his neighborhood really made us feel like locals for a few days. He recommend a great seafood restaurant around the corner. The room was nice and clean-looked like the pictures. The bed was very comfortable. He gave us a key to lock our door during the day which made us feel confident about leaving our valuables. Massimo was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We would definitely recommend Massimo's to anyone traveling to Roma!
