Dario was a conscientious and courteous host. He was quick to respond to any of my messages and gave us extremely detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment from the airport, which was a great help. On our arrival, he gave us a run down of the features in the apartment, specifically the fold out bed; in fact he just unfolded it for us so we wouldn't have trouble afterwards. He also provided material about the area we were in, and tips about transportation back & forth from Rome, which was 20-30 minutes away by public transport.

The apartment was more than sufficient for two people. It was a studio in a new building that had a full grocery store & a great pizza place right on the ground floor. The kitchen had sufficient pots and pans, cleaning products for washing up, and even a small stock of very basic and limited food items in the cupboards, like tea, salt and coffee. The bathroom was a decent size and very functional and clean, for which we were very grateful. There was no mould, or chipped paint, or dirt in the corners. The shower provided plenty of hot water at a great pressure. The wifi speed was also good.

The apartment also had a pretty big covered balcony with sliding windows that could be opened or closed as one wished.

The area was pretty safe, with plenty of buses to and fro from just outside the apartment building to the Tiburtina station. It was a quiet residential area, which we appreciated after being in the middle of hordes of tourists all day in Rome.
