Staying at Massimo’s place was one of the best decisions of our trip to Rome! We had to both arrive and leave quite early, and Massimo managed to organise an earlier check-in for us on the first day, saving us a lot of trouble.
The apartment was clean and in an excellent location, walking distance to all the important sights, with the nice restaurants and small shops of Via del Governo Vecchio and Via dei Giubbonari almost next door. We even walked to the Vatican and the Colosseum without problems, since the place is pretty much in the middle of the two, but it might be a long walk for some.
Once or twice in the night we heard some noisy tourists on their way back to their accommodation, but overall the nearby cobblestone streets are really quiet, no car noise at all. The bed plus the sofa bed were both comfortable and the kids slept really well on the sofa bed. Would stay here again.
