Laura and Mario made us feel very welcome at their place. They did many extras for us including checking in with us to see if everything was to our liking, calling a cab for a ride to the airport, and providing breakfast in the morning.

Their large apartment was on the top floor of a private complex in a very nice community. There is an elevator to the fifth floor if you you don't want to take the stairs. They have a beautiful deck that was equipped with a table and patio furniture to enjoy the sea breeze. Laura provides a lovely continental breakfast and a beverage-stocked fridge. A previous reviewer mentioned that there was no washing machine; however, we were pleased to discover it discretely paced in the bathroom.

My husband and I agree that of all five places we stayed in Italy, their place was by far the most beautiful, clean, spacious, and comfortable.
We stayed the night before our departure back to the U.S. but wished we had used it as our base for explorations in Rome because it really felt like we were on a vacation. It is about a 35 minute metro/train ride to Rome. There place is less than a mile from the Lido di Ostia train station. This is great place to stay if you want to explore the beaches or if you want to use it as a relaxing and crowd-free oasis as you explore Rome.
