This was our first time using Air BNB and we felt like we completely scored - in short Claudia is the high water mark. Claudia met us at the metro station near the apartment and walked us to the flat, in our jet lagged state this was an amazing boon. She had stocked the flat with water, coffee, milk and juice - among other things. She was welcoming and very warm. She helped us identify good restaurants in the neighborhood and markets we could shop at, all this with her very competent english, since we didn't speak any Italian. The apartment was even better in person than in the photographs - extremely spacious 3 bedrooms, fabulous kitchen and a great open living area to lounge in. The AC was divine and made sleeping all the better. But by far the best for us was the addition of the patio, this was a real treat for our family to spread out in the mornings and afternoons after we returned from our touring. This outdoor patio was amazing, we had breakfast here each morning and each evening we ate prosciutto, olives and a nice bottle of wine here before heading out to dinner. This apartment was a perfect place to land after a day on the busy streets crowded with tourists. The apartment is very close to the Vatican on a quiet tree lined street, it is away from the roar of the crowds yet close to everything. We walked the city most days but sometimes jumped on the subway only a few blocks from our front door. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who is visiting Rome - excellent in all ways.
