Even though Francesco was traveling and not in Ostia while we were there he proved to be very helpful and easy to contact. Our check in and subsequent access was smooth and easy. The flat itself is very modern, stylish and well equipped with comfortable bed and clean crisp linens. The elevator proved helpful as we had heavy luggage. Although we happened to be in Ostia the weekend Italy received a heavy snowfall the access to the beach under more normal circumstances would be a major bonus.
