Antonella is such a great host. we had baggage confusion at the airport upon arrival and she waited with no problems until we were able to arrive at the apartment to check in. She also provided good local options for clothing as our bags were delayed. Ostia is very Italian, not many people speak much English so know some key phrases before your stay. Gelateria down the street is superb and cafe down the other way has great baked goods for breakfast. Supermarket and train within a handful of blocks. Beach is a healthy walk away. Best part for us was the room darkening blinds which helped the little ones curb the jet lag. Water pressure/hot water is limited in the pent house, your best bet for a hot shower is the morning. The building itself is in imaculate condition and lift is great for the little ones. Would definitely stay again.
