Rome Ostia 100 mt Sea

This flat is exactly as advertised; a comfortable, no-frills place a stones throw from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The hosts were patient with me when I arrived much later than I led them to anticipate due to my inability to navigate a very straightforward neighborhood. (I suspect it was the jet-lag; I didn't get lost for the rest of my stay - only when I arrived and folks were waiting on me.) The rooms were clean; the linens were clean; the dishes and the kitchen were clean. Everything worked; and the hot water in the shower never seemed to run out. (I was in Rome for a jiu-jitsu competition, so I spend an inordinate amount of time in the hot shower trying to soak the stiffness out of me.) Francesca was very responsive when I reached out for help finding resources in the area, and in general was very pleasant to work with. Not only would I consider staying again; I'm considering it already.

Very nice place, clean and bright, owner very friendly and flexible with arrival and departure times. With a family of 4 kids the space was perfect!

We wanted to achieve 2 goals with our stay: Beach vacation (for our 3 children) with sighteseeing (for the parents): Ostia near Rome. The apartment is very well located: it is close to the beach and close to the center of Ostia. Everything is within easy reach with small children. The apartment is located in a nice building. The apartment is large, clean and pragmatic. A little bit of noise is part of all apartments in Italy from my experience. The landlady was very accommodating and helpful. The beach was nice, but we especially recommend the private beach. Ostia itself is more a fun lively town with numerous bars and nice restaurants than a nice town. You can get to Rome city center very quickly by metro. With our small kids we preferred to take the car. With traffic, no matter when, the route then easily takes over an hour. Rome center is always worth a trip and very beautiful.

All good. Very nice helpful owners. Overall nice and clean although the floors were dirty so we had to wear shoes inside. Easy to drive rental car to Rome each day.

Our time in Ostia was amazing and so was the apartment. It is comfortably spacious, clean, and a perfect location in distance to the beach and town piaza (5-7 minute walk, respectively). The beach is beautiful and the town is filled with such energy at night it's amazing. Great restaurants along the water and in the center. A great local and cost effective supermarket is about a 15-20 minutes walk immediately followed by the train station that brings you into Rome. Both Max and Francesca were extremely polite, helpful, and addressed any of our needs immediately. If there was one drawback it would be that there wasn't any air conditioning. We arrived in be middle of humid heat wave in early August. There were two fans provided but when we addressed the need for another one Francesca bought a new and delivered it within the day. Do not let the lack of AC sway you though. It's a great place to stay. Luckily, the heat wave broke after the third day and all worked out well. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone and would definitely stay there again with my family. Thank you again!! Jon and Lisa

When we arrived in Ostia we were exhausted as we hadn't slept in over 24hrs, and we had arrived a day later than we were supposed to. Francesca had some wine and fresh fruit there to greet us, in an effort to comfort us. She took us through the apartment quickly and allowed us the time to get settled and get some much-needed sleep. Texts messages were returned almost immediately, which we really appreciated. The apartment is in a great location, 5 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes to the square with all of the restaurants. The train station was also easily accessible. It is a quaint and quiet neighbourhood. There is also a great gelato shop steps from the apartment, which we took advantage of every day :-). We loved this apartment and are contemplating our return next year. The only reason we gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it didn't have air conditioning, which we really could have used on some of those hot days. We would definitely stay there again!

Nice and clean

The flat and it's location get 5 stars. It was 1 block from beach and only a short walk to the Ostia Central train station. Getting into Rome was easy and didn't take long. Lots of restaurants, cafes, markets and gelato places nearby, plus a big park for kids across the street. Flat had everything we needed for cooking. Owners were nice and helpful. It was a great peaceful and friendly place to stay instead of being in noisy Rome. I took off 1 star because internet was slow, dropped frequently and would run out every other day and then there would be no access until owner renewed the account balance. Also, there was only 1 English station on the TV and it was Bloomberg Financial, not great for evening watching and no help for entertaining kids. With poor internet we couldn't download and watch our own shows or movies.

What a beautiful apartment! We enjoyed our stay the town is quaint and beautiful. transit was within walking distance which was a major plus for us. The little bakery down the street had amazing pastries. Lots of restaurants to choose from. The people were friendly in the town too! If we ever go back to Rome we would choose to stay with you again. Max was easy to get ahold of and we appreciated the little touches that were left for us especially the bottle of wine, basket of fruit and little cookies. Thank you for letting us use your apartment! Nina
