Fernando's son met us right away when our taxi arrived, and it was a very easy check in process. He gave us a very comprehensive tour of the apartment, which we really appreciated.

The apartment itself is very unique. There are three separate loft spaces, which provide a lot of different options for guests. It's a great space for families or groups. There are quite a lot of stairs, although we found them pretty easy to get up and down. If you have major hip or back problems, this might not be the place for you.

The location is excellent! The Colosseum is literally out the front door and across the street, with a very short walk to the Forum and Palatine Hill. There were some restaurants nearby, and a grocery right around the corner.

The only issue we had was with the ride that was arranged for us to get to the airport the final morning of our stay. Fernando's son helped us to set up a ride for 3:30 am, since we had a flight to catch. We waited until 3:45, and ended up taking a normal taxi to the airport because the driver still had not shown up.

All in all, I would highly recommend staying at Fernando's excellent place, but consider arranging your own transport if you're on a tight schedule.
