Private flat in Ostia Antica

The first thing that impressed me was the amount of space you get, it was my first time staying at a holiday home after using B&Bs; it had everything I needed and was pleased with the provision of a washing machine and freezer- I didn’t know when I’d be eating out and meant I didn’t need to do grocery shopping as much. I loved the private patio which has a table to seat a family, the lemon tree was in fruit when I was there so didn’t need to worry at all about running out of lemons😂 The second thing that impressed me was the pristine cleanliness, no trace of previous tenants, I’m very OCD about hygiene so it was def. up to par👍 The bed was comfortable and felt like a hybrid memory foam, suited me just fine, large wardrobe with adequate space for clothes (additional space in a large chest of drawers) and inside you can find plenty blankets, so I was toasty warm during chilly nights☺️. The bathroom was nice, although there’s a 6/7 inch step out of the shower and had to be careful stepping out as it was slippy so maybe a non-slip matt would have been safer…The living/ dining room was spacious, the sofa was comfortable enough. The kitchen was easy to cook in and came with a large fridge which can store enough food for a family if eating out frequently is too expensive. The one thing I’d say though, is that there was no oil for cooking, only one finger of washing up liquid and no rubber gloves, but I’m sure the owner will provide these things when asked (I was too shy😅). The area is lovely, I’ve stayed at 3 other accommodations in this neighbourhood and it was the most peaceful😌 Plus it’s almost a direct 5-10min walk away from supermarket Todis, and a short jaunt to a smaller local shop DOC, it’s near a bus route which takes you to the bustling Roman centre, and a train station within reach.

Very spacious with a nice coffee bar close by. Very friendly hosts!

Unfortunately lots of Moskitos and bad connection with public transport. A few basics in the kitchen like salt and pepper would have been nice.
