Massimo's home is beautifully clean, comfortable and very well-equipped! We met Agnese (friend of Massimo) upon arrival who, although speaking very little English was very helpful and kind. This apartment is near a growing bar and food scene area called Pigneto (may seem a little grungy and urban to some), and walking distance to the Metro train and bus to take you to the sights (once you figure it out). We would walk 15mins to 'San Giovanni' Metro station to take the 'A line' straight to Trevi, Vatican and most other sights! Beware though, catching it with suitcases can be tricky because it is packed full with people at peak times!!
After long days of sight seeing we loved coming home to Massimo's comfortable apartment and we would definitely go back.
