Comfortable apartment one block from seashore
This is a very clean, modernish apartment just a block back from the beachfront near Rome. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are great with luxurious large-head showers.
The town has some very nice restaurants, especially those clustered in a 3-block pedestrian zone, and there are a couple of nice ones right across the street from the apartment.
It is a pretty good base for exploring Rome once you get the hang of the train and business system.
A couple of things you should know:
A. Although the town is right by the airport, few airport cabs will take you there and those that will do so will charge a lot (50 euros) for the short distance. Taking the train requires a ride into central Rome before you can switch to the line that serves Ostia.
B. The unit has an "ocean view" only in a narrow slit between 2 buildings in the block across the street. When we booked, the house location showed as on the waterfront; when we checked in, the hosts told us the correct address. If this is an issue, check it.
C. There is no parking for the unit, just normal on-street spaces. We were lucky to find a spot about 2 blocks away and the owners helped us with the luggage so we could get it done in one lift.
