We found Roberto exceptionally helpful and friendly. He took us to the bus stop in his own car when we wanted to go to Ostia Lido and also gave us a lift to the train station with our bags when we left too! He also arranged a reliable cab driver to fetch us from there airport.
The apartment was spacious and clean, and we appreciated the milk, beer and water in the fridge when we arrived. The air conditioning worked well too. The bed was comfy and we particularly liked the courtyard garden with the pretty lemon tree.
We walked to Ostia Antica from Ostia Lodge to see the historic site easily, having pre-bought a Roma pass (picked up at Rome Fiumicino Airport Tourist Information office PIT) we were able to get into Ostia Antica with this pass and also travel into Rome with this pass, it just scans at the train station..you do not need to put the Roma Pass through the ticket gate by the way you just scan the circle on the gate. Do wear trainers to walk around Ostia Antica and going earlier in the day we found was cooler.
We recommend Ostia Lodge as a great place to stay!
