We’ve never mer Cristina but she is very prompt in communicating with us. She’s very accommodating with our early checkin. Mr Mendis was there to greet us and hand us the keys.
Cristina’s home is very comfortable. We felt very safe in the neighbourhood and even more so as it is in a gated community. The AC is the biggest plus as we were there during the heat wave. The kitchen is well stocked and she provided some treats, water and a bottle of wine. Wifi is good but you may have to restart once in a while. There are plenty of parking spots inside the gate and on the street if you are driving. I would not recommend the place for people with mobility issues especially if you do not have a car to go around. Her building is at the end of the compound and from the gate to her house is about 200 meters but it’s an uphill walk so it feels like it’s farther. The bus stop is close by but if you are taking the cab, you have to meet it at the gate.
The location is perfect for us because we wanted to see the Vatican mostly. There are good restaurants on Via Aurelia. I recommend the Filipino and the seafood restaurants on that street. There is also a big mall close by that has supermarket, food court and of course shopping. Overall we’re very pleased with our stay and highly recommends her place.
