Many thanks to Bernardo for being such a great host. The apartment itself is exactly like the pictures and very clean and modern in a quiet suburb with easy access to the centre of Rome via the Metro. The Metro station is roughly 12 minutes walk from the apartment, and the coliseum is just 4 stops away.
There are plenty of shops and amenities within walking distance and of note, families with young children, there is a cute amusement park for toddlers around the corner.
Anyone staying at the flat should try Bigarba, a small pizzeria, around the corner. Delicious.
I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone spending time in Rome and will definitely be back in future.
