From booking Roberta was prompt in contacting me and welcoming me to her property for my trip. As my flight was early morning and check in wasn't until 3PM, Roberta offered the preceding night of my stay at a reduced rate so we could check in early.
Through the reviews left previously I was able to arrange airport collection and drop off at the end of our stay. Something I've never done before but it made the whole trip so simple. Having been to Rome several times and knowing taxi fares and transport from CIA, the €25 charge each way was well worth it, especially since we had an early flight back.
Oliver, Roberts's son met us at the airport and was very friendly and took us right to the door and gave us a guided tour.
The apartment is modern and perfect for a comfortable stay in Rome, it is like high end hotel. We had some problems with the boiler and so no hit water straight away, but I contacted Oliver and he resolved it very quickly for us. The apartment really is beautiful, much different to my other stays in Rome through Airbnb which I would describe as more traditional Italian accommodation. We loved the built in sound system and of course the welcome snacks and wine!
The apartment is a few minutes walk to a Metro which gets you anywhere. The colosseum is about a 15 minute walk and from there you can walk into the shopping/restaurant centre in about 20 minutes. The location was perfect.
On our last day Oliver was waiting outside at 8AM as arranged and took us to the airport.
This was a Christmas break and I would like to thank Roberta and Oliver for a fantastic stay and for offering such a beautiful space.
All the best,
Adriano.
