Prior to our departure we had decided that our time in Italy would be split between the delights of Rome and the relaxation of the beach and Massimiliano's apartment was the perfect solution for that plan. Located centrally in Ostia, it was also only 40-50 minutes away (by train) from pretty much any of the sights in Rome. The apartment is clean and spacious and located in a very quiet neighborhood that is within a 5-7 minute walk of the beach, restaurants, supermarket, and the train station. Massimiliano and Francesca were extremely helpful in getting us transportation from/to the airport and in answering any questions we had concerning Ostia or Rome. Wifi could be a little wonky (which drove my teenage sons crazy!) but that's not why we traveled to Rome and was certainly manageable as perhaps the only negative of our stay in the apartment. Thanks for everything!
