There are many reasons to choose this property if you are visiting Rome. First of all it is large and in a great location. Like most large European cities, Rome has a very good transportation system and you can take it to get 50 meters from the apartment. If you are flying home the airport is less than 15 minutes away by taxi. One thing you should know is Ostia is actually older than Rome and there are ruins there too...not the Coliseum of course but a great beach on the Mediterranean Sea is about 400 meters down the road. We skipped Rome on our last day and spent it at the beach. Restaurants, markets and other stores are walking distance. Lastly Vito is a great communicator and a fantastic host. We hope to return someday.
