Claudia's place was EXCELLENT!! Not only was the apartment immaculately clean, super secure, warm and homey, but the hosts - Claudia and Cristina - went above and beyond in their in-person introduction to both their Vatican-area neighbourhood and to Rome itself! They hit me with full details on where to catch the bus, how to run the subway system, their preferences for local eateries, all the specifics about the apartment, recommendations for sights to see/things to do in Rome, etc. It seemed that all I had to do was merely mention something I was interested in seeing or doing in Rome and they tailored their introductory information flow to suit my specific needs - on the spot! I felt fully charged and confident on my first venture out the door! What a comfort that was! The apartment itself was bright, cheerful, spacious, stocked with snacks and drinks, and had a comfy king-sized bed! It truly was a pleasure to come home to at the end of the day! The best example of bend-over-backwards hospitality came when Cristina had explained that there was a special evening opening at the Villa Borghese Gallery (one of the must-sees on my list) and I had said that I was nervous about venturing out alone at night. She immediately offered to accompany me to the galley and to show me the beauty of Rome's major attractions at night. I took her up on her offer and we had a GREAT time - something that would NOT have happened otherwise! Many thanks to Cristina! In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend Claudia and Cristina's place to anyone wanting to have a comfortable and memorable stay in The Eternal City! Ciao!
