Stayed for a week at the Residenza Maxima in early November. The room was the attic apartment, one bedroom, pull out sofa in the living/entry room, small kitchenette in the hallway leading to the outdoor patio, and the bathroom with a toilet, bidet, and shower stall. There are no lifts to the upper floors and the hallway can get quite dark at night if nobody leaves lamps on on the landings.
The property is well located near a tram line (8) that takes you to the Trastevere area, a bus line (H) that takes you to Termini station, and a nearby train station (Trastevere) for the commuter lines to other areas around Rome. It is noisy during the day due to ambulances going to the neighboring hospital but they really do quiet down after dark and sleeping was never really that difficult.
The breakfast was a prepackaged croissant with either chocolate or apricot filling, a sleeve of crackers, butter, and jam placed in the small freezer/fridge daily. The kitchenette had a decent sized stove and the room included pots, pans, dishes, and cups. We took advantage of the kitchenette at least twice during our stay and were able to put together pretty good meals! Just make sure you clean up because there is a warning about a 10 Euro charge if they have to do it.
Overall I thought that the property offered a good value in an otherwise expensive city for lodging. Do not expect much help or assistance from the staff at all. The neighborhood has a great little farmers market, two nearby supermarkets, and plenty of coffee bars, snack bars, and a bakery. Biggest complaint would be the lack of any English language television channels other than BBC News, an apparently leaking sink that left the bathroom floor wet, and that the wireless internet didn't want to connect unless you were outside of the building. There is a nice enough little gazebo with outdoor couches and tables to sit at though.
