Roberto was a very hospitable host. We arrived 30 mins ahead of schedule and he was very welcoming, inviting us up to his cozy terrace while he got the room prepared for us.
He also kindly arranged for a taxi to pick us up when we checked out to take us to the next destination, knowing that we did not have the ability to dial locally on our cell phones yet.

The apartment is modern and Roberto ensured that everything is taken care off: shampoo, soap, iron, blankets, a fully equipped mini kitchenette if you wanted to cook or warm up food, most importantly it had air-conditioning which was the most welcoming feature in Italy's summer heat wave!

Only small issue we had was not being able to purchase bus tickets anywhere near the apartment to get to the colosseum. Not any fault of Roberto's, rather than the fact that the apartment wasn't near a major bus terminal which usually has ticket machines etc.
