This is a fabulous place and great value for money. The area is built up however, you are only minutes from the beach or the main central area of shops and restaurants. Andrea is a great host and one who made us feel very welcome and comfortable, he could not do enough for us. The apartment is 19Km from Fiumicino airport and if archeology is your gig then Ostia Antica is but 10 minutes down the road. Ostia itself is a little tired but it is a vibrant and cosmopolitan place, we liked it.
