What can I say? This was an amazing experience. The apartment was perfect, the view was perfect and the host was perfect! Fedrico was reliable and easy to reach at all times (both in England and in Rome). Laura took her time to inform us about the city at check in, helping us make the most of our short stay. The apartment was fully equipped and right in the centre of the ancient city, the colosseum is not even a minutes walk away. You can hire bicycles to help navigate the city and all it has to offer, however it is just as accessible on foot. We got a private transfer from Fiumicino airport, it's worth noting that all licensed Rome taxis have a set price from the airport, so you know the price is fair. On the way back we took the train to the airport- which was surprisingly easy, relatively cheap and quite enjoyable. We left our luggage at termini station for the day, as we had evening flights (6e per bag) The train station is about a 15 minute walk, or hop in a taxi for 10e. Everything you need is on the door step or within easy walk- including a 24hr supermarket. Would highly recommend not only this apartment, but the hosts too. Would go back, without hesitation. Lastly... Yes, the view really is that good.
