Massimiliano and Maurizio, his dad, are awesome hosts and the apartment is perfect! Before we got there we were a little worried about the place being far from the main monuments but we were wrong. The apartment is in a quiet and nice neighborhood just outside the crowded craziness of the touristic roman path, but very well connected by train and bus to the metro stations and key places. It is true that it takes a little longer to get and return from touristic attractions but for us it was a perfect thing to come back to a real house, with a beautiful garden full of medicinal herb, lemons and oranges, and everything we needed for cooking and rest, away from the crowds. There are pizza and café places, supermarkets, pharmacy, etc. nearby.
Massimiliano and Maurizio offered to pick us up from Termini because it was raining and then took us on a super interesting tour in the center. Maurizio is a history teacher and you can imagine how useful and remarkable his descriptions were. We highly recommend this place, especially for long stays (we stayed 6 nights)...you end up feeling like home! Thanks Massimiliano and Maurizio! I hope some day we can return such kindness and attentions.
