Massimiliano was a perfect host, accommodating my ever-changing arrival schedule at the Ottaviano Metro. From there it was a short walk to a fantastic 3-bedroom apartment that was much more space than I needed, but at the price could not turn down. Throughout my stay in Rome, the apartment proved invaluable in terms of location and ease of access, and the small touches left by Massimiliano all over the apartment (candies on the bed, stocked coffee and instructions for the machine, stocked refrigerator) made it a joy to come back at the end of a hot and hectic day touring.

Though I didn't end up needing quite so much space, Tra Santi e Poeti is a wonderful option for a budget or value-conscious traveler, and especially for a young family!
