Ilaria sent us messages prior to our arrival to ensure a smooth check-in and was waiting for us at the flat that evening.
Side note: For others arriving in Rome for the first time, if you are being dropped off within the Aurelian Walls, the taxi fare should be a flat fee of 50€. Our driver tried to take advantage of us and I believe Ilaria got their plate number and reported them to the municipality.
Taxi hiccup aside, our stay was absolutely wonderful! The place is as listed and neither of us have ever seen such secure doors before in our lives lol! We didn’t make use of the kitchen because let’s face it, we came to Italy for the food. We did do some laundry, though do note, it is only a drying rack not a dryer itself so leave some extra time for your clothes to dry.
You can literally see the Colosseum from the front door and there was lots of great food near and far! We recommend using the electric scooters to get around quickly and cheaply! Would definitely book again :)
