an adorable host. very friendly and put a lot of effort into communicating despite the language barrier. absolutely stunning space and a lot of personal handcrafted art around. ask him about his sculptures.
the building is quaint and clean, however the room is on the 6th floor so it is quite a trek, difficult if any mobility issues are of concern. the private rooftop patio was definitely a highlight, and was used frequently by us for stargazing or dinners.
the town felt unsafe at night as there were many strange people around and followed us around. however during the day it is completely different, filled with locals and people from rome enjoying the beach. there are quite a few high quality and authentic restaurants to choose from.
there are many cute little cafes (cavalliere cafe around the corner has great handmade vegan comfort food. gelato milkshakes are an absolute recommendation for those with lactose intolerance) and an abundance of supermarkets and stores. it is a bus ride away from the “antica”, old roman ruins.
overall, amazing experience and high quality stay. grazie ostia.
