The location is ideal for Rome, comfortable with a large bathroom. The house is easily accessible from the railway station unless you have a disability as the footbridge could prove something of a problem. The metro links are excellent and cheap (€1.50 for 100 minutes which get you most places). Ostia Antica is quiet and relaxing after the crowds in the city. It also boasts a medieval castle open on Thursdays and Sundays but most of all the the ruins for the port of Rome. This is an adventure in itself and, to my mind, competes favourably with the antiquities in Rome itself. If, on the other hand, you fancy a dip in the sea proceed in the opposite direction for a couple of stops. Nature trails abound too. My one problem was lack of laundry facilities, in the intense heat of the summer this proved a problem.
