Located just outside of Rome's city walls, a taxi from the Fiumicino Airport to Piazzale Flaminia is 60 euros. But if you asked to be dropped off at the nearby Porta del Popolo, the city gate, its only 48 euros. Then just cross a traffic light to the apt in 30 seconds. Same for departure, stroll some 200-300m for a taxi rank on Piazza del Popolo for your departure and its only 48 euros to the Fiumicino.
This studio apt on the highest attic floor of an apt, block, which is right in front of a Metro entrance, is run very professionally by Fabio - all his bed sheets, pillow cases, kitchen and floors are kept spanking clean! Washing powder, cooking condiments, tea/coffee and even pasta are provided here.
By now, we are Airbnb regulars and if all apt owners can maintain their apt like Fabio's, i think many hotels will soon be out of business!
Apt was spacious for 2-3 persons, a little tight for 4. Both bed and sofa bed are very comfy and nights are very quiet. Both the Wifi and aircon worked really well.
House was cleverly designed with a great modern taste - functional and very new still. Mini markets, pizza and kebab shops abound. Stroll one minute to a Mercato Rionale where you can find fresh meats, fishes, vegetables and fruits.
Only minor setbacks here are - noise from the elevator may disrupt your afternoon naps, no iron and ironing board here, and only two pillows are provided here (we require two pillows for each person as one pillow is often used as a bolster).
Overall, a 5 stars stay at Fabio's! Grazie mille! Bravo, Fabio !
