Patrizia and her husband were perfect hosts and their space was also very nice. I arrived very late after having a hard time finding the place, I should have been more careful to pre-load my instructions in my smart phone rather than hoping to get a SIM card as I arrived (vodafone had already closed at the airport).

The room was very private and convenient. I was still fighting an 8 hour time shift, so had a hard time keeping the same hours as my hosts, but they accomodated this very well, accepting my arrival after 1am and rarely rising before their noontime!

It was a very hot week in Rome with no air conditioning, but the fan they provided along with a cool shower at bedtime helped me to sleep well.

I had a car, so it was convenient for me to drive into Rome each day but I think anyone using public transportation would have done as well.

Ostia Antica is a charming little village!
