Host mate contact prior to our visit to arrange meeting to collect keys and tour of the property etc.

I text our point of contact as soon as we landed and as we were leaving the airport, everything seemed to be on track but unfortunately we were waiting outside the property for approx. 40 as our contact was late arriving.

We were very happy with the property, it met our needs perfectly. Location was fantastic (10 minute walk from the colloseum) with plenty of local restaurants just minutes away (such as Baia Chia and Topside Roma) and just across the road is a supermarket for all your essentials (Co-op open 8 til 8).

This property is listed as 2 beds but bear in mind as per the listing this is 1 bedroom with 1 double bed. The other double bed is a sofa fold out and it is very hard and uncomfortable. On the upside, the goose down pillows helped make you forget that and were amazing. Decided to buy our own at home now.

The property has a flat screen television and not that it has HDMI and USB points if you travel with an Amazon FireStick or USB stick with videos on - otherwise, if you're not Italian speaking then you won't have much to watch. We spent our late nights watching a movie via USB so thought it was worth mentioning.

Overall, no complaints. Listing was accurate. The HOST was great in terms of communication and helped us get in touch with our point of contact on arrival and quickly sorted it out. The location is perfect for visiting Rome, we literally walked everywhere, all the way to Vatican City - it is very do-able. It was great to "live like a local" and all the neighbours we encountered were very friendly.

Oh, and I know when in Rome you should really dine on Italian cuisine, but there is a chinese restaurant straight across the road from the main door called Man-Yi, opens at 7pm. Very good food, very good service and very good value. Again, another perk to staying at this place.

If we choose to come back to Rome, I would not hesitate to stay here again, thank you Marzio & Svevo.
