  Sehr nette Gastgeberin, freundlicher Empfang. Sehr sauber. Super praktisch gelegen am Einkaufszentrum.

  Wohnung sehr auf Päärchen ausgelegt, Übernachtung auf Schlafcouch eher improvisiert, aber okay.

  My friend and I had the pleasure of staying at this lovely two-bedroom apartment, and it exceeded our expectations. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the sea. The apartment itself was impeccably clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. A special mention goes to the host, who was very polite, communicative, and made us feel welcome. We had a fantastic time and would definitely stay here again. Everything was very good!"

  Casa accogliente in posizione ideale

  Appartamento ristrutturato, composto da una spaziosa camera da letto, soggiorno, cucina, bagno e un ampio terrazzo arioso e ben arredato. Gli ambienti sono generosi nelle dimensioni, perfettamente funzionali e confortevoli. La cucina è completa e ben attrezzata, ideale anche per soggiorni più lunghi. La posizione è ottima: a soli cinque minuti a piedi dal lungomare e con tutti i servizi principali nelle immediate vicinanze, come negozi, ristoranti e supermercati. Un ringraziamento speciale a Ilaria, la proprietaria, gentile e accogliente, che saluto con grande cordialità.

  Great flat, great location, great host

  We were finishing a six week holiday so we wanted a few nights downtime before our long-haul flight out of Fiumicino. Rather than the crowds and prices of Rome, we chose Ostia and it was perfect, still with great access to Rome. It’s a modern Italian town and gives you a good taste of how most Italians live. Ilaria is a great host - she’s very proactive and helped us so much. It’s her own flat so she takes much more care than we had from other people working for tourist apartment management companies. At late notice she organised a transfer from Rome Termini station to Ostia which was great in a heatwave and then asked us if we needed a transfer to Fiumicino (EU35, 40 mins in morning peak hour – so much better than a long drive from Rome). Location is good - 15 mins walk to beach, lots of shops and eateries nearby, and about 15mins to the station. The supermarket on the ground floor of the unit block is well stocked (make sure you pick up and store loose fruit and veg in plastic bags and label them from the machine before you get to the check out!). The flat is a large one-bedroom with everything you’d expect from a modern flat - lift, double glazing, modern shutters and tiled throughout. There’s aircon in the lounge and bedroom. The terrace is large, and we used it for breakfast, drinks and dinner when we ate at home. The car park below is not the most scenic, but you do get some great skyscapes from the 5th floor, and unlike most other flats, you’re not looking directly into someone else’s window. Small but full kitchen with a good sized fridge and gas cooker. Bedroom has cupboard space and a comfy bed. The washing machine works well (Ilaria took the time to show us how), and there’s a clothes dryer, iron and board. The bathroom has lots of toiletry space. Water pressure in the shower is not great as advised by Ilaria but it’s certainly enough to get clean and wash the soap from your hair which is really all you need.

  Not a dislike, just not enough room above: Getting to Rome is easy – it’s a 15min walk to the Lido Nord station (but I’d add a little extra time to walk over the walkway to the platform and get your ticket/tap on). Then get the MetroMare to Basilica San Paolo. It’s an easy change to Metro B (direction Junio/Rebibbia) which takes you to Colosseum and Termini. Total train time about 40 mins. Ilaria warned us of pickpockets, but we are always aware of our belongings anyway and didn’t have any issues. These issues are very minor, and I’d recommend Poseidon 100%: The hot water did cut out occasionally but turning it off and in again seemed to fix it. I’m a light sleeper so I did notice infrequent traffic noise, and there’s a little noise with the 6am garbos but that’s pretty standard in Italy and was nothing ear plugs didn’t keep out. A microwave would be handy.
