Me and my partner chose to stay at Stefano & Maria's wonderful apartment whilst visiting Rome as we were going to watch Wales vs Italy in the RBS 6 Nations.
The apartment is in very close proximity to the Stadio Olimpico and there are some lovely bars and restaurants just across the river on the way there!
Stefano & Maria were easily contactable if need be and were extremely quick to tell us if there was anything we needed to know (one day the water to the neighbourhood was cut off and they informed us before we even had a chance to find out ourselves).
The apartment is located at the centre of the Olympic Village and has a close knit community feel to it. There is a 24 hour supermarket close by and a small pizza shop that Stefano recommended which certainly lived up to our expectations.
The local bars and restaurants are much much cheaper than those in the centre (€2 a beer) and it certainly feels a lot more local.
The centre of Rome is a 50 minute walk from the apartment so for those who like to stroll along the streets it is a lovely walk. Also there is a tram service 10 minutes from the apartment which takes you right to Piazza del Popolo (edge of the city centre).
Lastly Stefano & Maria even offered to pick us up and drop us off to the airport, even with our antisocial flight times which was massively appreciated and we were so thankful for!
Overall our stay at Stefano & Maria's was fantastic and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to explore Rome!
Ciao!
