We stayed for 1 week and from the moment we met with Fabio, we were at ease and felt welcome. Fabio met us at the apartment and showed us the logistics, like where things are located in the place. They provided some drinks and juices as well as a very sweet welcome basket filled with croissants (which we loved so much that we went out and bought more), pastries, chocolates (which we also bought more of). They had many resources for things to do in Rome, with maps and other guides. Fabio spent time with us explaining where the stations were, local restaurants, places of interest, etc. and answered all of our questions thoroughly.

This apartment is in a perfect location, within only a few minutes walk to the station. There is a grocery store within the Ostiense station, a pharmacy off of Ostiense, as well as some local restaurants. The area is quiet, but if you want some excitement, you are only 2 stops from the Colosseum.

The apartment was very clean when we went, and looks just like the photos. It was spacious enough for my husband and I and we were very comfortable. The shower is quite small, which was a bit uncomfortable but could be overlooked as it is still a functioning shower. There are enough outlets, enough space to keep luggage and anything else you may need. A full-length mirror is right by the main door. There is a walk-in closet within the bedroom with plenty of space to hang your clothes and keep an open suitcase on the floor, as well as a small cabinet that could be used as an ironing table (iron provided).

Fabio and Luca were great at keeping us informed about things such as early closures of the Colosseum because of the Via Crucis. They were also extremely sweet to stop by and surprise us with an Easter gift!

Take away message: If this place is available to book, do not hesitate and go for it! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to our family and friends. Fabio and Luca were wonderful hosts and helped make our first time in Rome a comfortable experience.
