Lorenzo wasn't available when we arrived so he sent another colleague to meet us- his English was good and he was very polite. He was on time when we arrived and left. Make sure you have Euros in cash for the guy who lets you in when you get there for the town tax. The Wifi was excellent and the dishwasher and stovetop worked well. The washing machine was a bit of a drama - it locked our clothes inside twice. Some multi lingual instructions on appliances would be great in all AirBNB places.

The location is wonderful and the streets - safe, very charming and rustic. Lots of nice - albeit expensive restaurants right at the colosseum, and cheaper and better ones near to the flat- a short walking distance. There is a coffee shop 3 doors down and the staff are lovely. The lounge/ dining is tiny but the bedrooms are fine- the main one is big. There were lost of large towels in this apartment- some of our AIRBNB places have little silly towels or only 2-4 towels. The bathroom is large, the beds, were not very comfortable. The places has 3 keys to get in- very safe.

The communication with Lorenzo was excellent. The colosseum is not outside the window of this flat, but once you walk out it is a block away and it is perpendicular to the apartment block. We had 4 kids with us and were very grateful the Metro was less than a minute walk away. Walking around this part of town at night is wonderful- the ancient city is lit up and superb to look at. The lines at the Colosseum were crazy in Sept/ Oct so get up early, take a pastry and get in before the crowds if you stay here. Download the Rick Steves audio app and buy a Colosseum book - you will enjoy it more. Buy a Roma Pass for travel at the metro and buy skip the queue tickets for most of the places in Roma as the lines were all at least 1 hour long in Oct.

Overall, I would recommend this property.
