Massimo's apartment is located in an area that is accessible by the metro just a few stops away from the Termini. It is safe, not touristy, and middle-class residential. I know the area relatively well as I am a frequent traveler to Rome. I would recommend the apartment and the area to travelers who would stay in Rome for more than a few days, and also to first-time travelers in Rome.

I stayed for about a week in a room with a firm queen-size bed. There is a large TV if one cares for Italian television. Bathroom and kitchen and living area are family standard.

Massimo is knowledgeable about Rome and helpful with his guests' needs. This is certainly not a "hostel-style" apartment we sometimes deal with through airbnb. I lived with the host and interacted with him.
