Flavio’s place is excellent. Here are some of the best things about it:
1. Flavio is very helpful and accommodating and will make check in and check out very smooth. We even forgot something in the place and he was kind enough to let us back in after check out to grab it. He makes Rome welcoming.
2. The location was phenomenal. It is very close to both the Piramide and Circo Massimo Metro stops if you want to get around the wider city, and, sitting as it does on the Aventine Hill, is easily within walking distance of the Forum/Palatine Hill/Colosseum area. Also easily walkable to the Campo dei Fiori. It is a great home base for a stay in Rome, if you want to see the big stuff (or not). There are also many cafes and restaurants close by on Via Aventino. Overall, it was a quieter part of the city, and it felt very safe even late at night.
3. The place was very clean and comfortable. It is a small apartment, but only if you’re used to American homes. It has everything you need, including full bathroom, kitchenette, living room, and bedroom (and A/C which is a big deal). It’s wonderful and very comfortable.
We loved our stay in Flavio’s apartment, and would love to go back.
