Patrizia's apartment in Ostia Antica was the perfect spot for a short, private getaway. The house is located a good walk away from the archaeological site in a quiet neighborhood that is near a few restaurants and shops. Access to the beach is quite easy, and if you're up for more of an adventure, the hike through along Via Castel Fusano and the Viale della Villa di Plinio is worth the effort. Moveover, the trains to both Rome and the lido were very frequent and easy to navigate, so you've got the benefits of having a private, cute home to go home to while still having easy access to the surroundings. I'd go back in a heartbeat!
