If you are going to Rome I would definitely suggest staying with Aldo. From the very start he was professional with quick responses and answered all of my (many) questions. Upon arrival he greeted us at the door, gave us a tour of his sparkling clean apartment, and also had several print outs of maps showing where the apartment was in reference to all of the historic sites. He also had several restaurant recommendations.
This apartment is in a prime location. It took maybe 5-20 minutes to walk everywhere. (We never needed to use the public transportation because it was so neutral). The apartment is a 5-7 minute walk from the Colosseum, 15 minute walk to the Trevi Fountain, 12 minute walk to the Pantheon, etc. The furthest thing from us was the Vatican. It was a 35 minute walk because it’s on the opposite side of the city, but I really enjoyed walking through the streets and admiring the architecture.
Aldo’s apartment is so clean. He actually comes in and helps the maids to make sure everything is sanitized for our protection. He uses the medical grade disinfection agent that the local hospitals use. He has everything that you could need. The apartment also had a hair dryer which was super nice because I totally forgot mine. He has extra blankets, pillows, towels, phone adapters etc. Oh and most importantly, AIR CONDITIONING!!!
Upon leaving Aldo comes back to the apartment to wish you a farewell and to get the keys. We needed a cab to take us to the airport and he was more than happy to call one for us and had it at the apartment right on time.
All in all, I give Aldo a 10/10. I would completely recommend staying with him!
