Nadia and Fillippo have given us the most caring and thoughtful stay at an Airbnb yet! They were flexible with us arriving a bit early and were in constant communication very quickly if I had any questions.
The place is absolutely beautiful and updated with new stylish everything (appliances, furniture and the fastest internet and cable tv). However, it so tastefully compliments the beautiful historical features in the place. It was so nice, we spent extra time relaxing (superior air conditioner) during the day and then headed out in late afternoons and evenings.
There are cafes and a grocery store within 1-2 blocks as well as the updated Testaccio Market Place for shoe shopping and amazing food vendors. Great local place to experience Italy without it being touristy.
We love walking and taking the metro around Rome. The metro is about 6 blocks (lots of curbs so pack light or take a cab from the station) but you walk past historic pyramid and through tree lined streets with parks (one is a playground just for families). You are 2 stops from the coliseum and about 15 -20 minutes by metro to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. You can also walk across the bridge to the adjoining foodie neighborhood of Trastevere.
There is the well connected train station of Ostiense behind the metro station that goes to and from the airport for 8 euro (FL1 train).
We loved our stay here as we wanted to be in real Rome neighborhoods but with quick access to tourists spots by metro.
The beauty and comfort of Fillippo and Nadia’s place and their hospitality just made it the best! We also enjoyed the bottle of Prosecco that you left to welcome us.
