Our family of three had a wonderful week-long vacation in Rome, using Massimiliano's home as our base of operations. First of all, Massimiliano is a fantastic host, VERY quick to respond to questions and exceedingly helpful with travel tips, maps, and the local area.
Massimiliano's home is nestled on a lovely, quiet street near St. Peter's Basilica. It is a stylish sanctuary to return to after a long day of walking and sight-seeing. It is just minutes from the train station, making transportation to and from the airport fairly simple. We used the metro to get around the old city and it's a bout a 30 minute walk, mostly along the Vatican walls and down lovely streets, to the Cipro station. There are coffee shops, restaurants, and a grocery store all within walking distance, which is wonderfully convenient.
We enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen and it had everything we needed. The beds are comfortable and the water pressure in the showers is great! The view of St. Peter's Basilica from the balcony is absolutely lovely and seeing it in the morning light, glowing in the setting sun, and lit up in the evening was a sight I will long remember.
