Ostia is a perfect place to stay, whether it’s your first or thirty-first visit to Rome. Easy 20 mins by public transport to the major sites of Rome, five minutes to the ancient Roman port city of Ostia Antica, 20 mins to the airport, and 2 steps to the beach.
This apartment is in the heart of Ostia, with restaurants, stores, and the bi-weekly market steps away. There is a large supermarket five minutes’ walk by the train station. The neighbourhood is full of people walking and enjoying the piazza. It is very safe.
It is 60 steps to the apartment with no lift so be aware if you have any mobility issues. But the terrace and view of the sea are well worth the climb. You can hear the waves at night when the city is quiet.
The apartment is perfect for a family of one or two children, a couple, or two friends. It is clean and well equipped, with a washing machine as well. Daniela is a wonderful host and very helpful.
I have stayed many times in Ostia (15+) and this apartment is by far the nicest.
