Perfect location for the most iconic monument in Rome. I thought it was close to the Colloseum but not that close.
The hosts had arranged a driver for us at the airport which we had previously arranged. We thought 75 euro was a good price as there was 6 of us. We didn't pre arrange a return but decided to do so as we had an early flight back. We had a different firm and paid 55. We arranged that after asking Giovanni. There was 6 of us so it made sense to get a bigger taxi.
Giovanni was our host and he was there to meet us which was a nice touch and he was very helpful.
The house is exactly what we wanted, one bedroom and one bathroom each. We were 3 couples.
There are plenty bars just outside and it felt very safe and welcoming. There s also a 24 hour supermarket nearby.
We ate next door for breakfast at the Colloseo bar and also at Luzzis. They were both very busy and food was good. Locals used them so that says it all.
We also ate at Cafe Martini opposite the Colloseum at lunchtime. It was a bit more expensive but the food was really good and we couldn't argue about the view.
We got a really good deal for the bus tour but that was because we were cheeky and haggled. The hosts can arrange the tickets but if you don't mind haggling then I d suggest you do that. Everyone is friendly enough.
We absolutely loved Rome and I would definitely recommend this house if you all want a bit of privacy and space. The lounge was perfect too as it accommodated all of us. The wifi worked perfectly and you even had Netflix if you wanted it.
Thank you Simone, Francesca and Alessia and of course our host Giovanni.
A prossimo.
Pino TOZZI and family.
