Straightforward stay for a night before or after the airport! The place is comfortable, and has a lovely dining and sofa area.
Loretta left fresh flowers around the apartment which was a lovely touch. :)
The bunk room has a big desk which is nice for working and storing belongings. The desk in the main bedroom is quite small.
The wifi: it was very weak for us, about 3mbps after checking over multiple hours … not able to use for work or video calls. We bought Italian SIM cards so we were able to hot spot.
The area: right across the street from a super market and close to a few restaurants. It was hard to find a place that was open the day we stayed (Tuesday night) that had good reviews. We got a taxi to Ostia Antica and went to an amazing place by the Castello. (About a 10 min drive.)
PLEASE NOTE: booking a taxi online at this location can be quite difficult , I booked and tried to reserve taxis with FREE NOW and they never came (2 times) and I also tried Uber 3-4 times and drivers kept cancelling. I think due to the location, but maybe it was just bad luck.
Fortunately I had a local friend nearby who gave me the number for the OSTIA TAXI service, you call and ask for a ride and they were super responsive and dependable. You can call the night before and schedule something for early morning, but I called at 5:50am and was able to get a driver! (I’m sure if I reached out to Loretta in advance, she would have also been able to help with booking a taxi.)
