Claudio is a fantastic host and the apartment is spotlessly clean. There are lots of home comforts and balconies for each room. I stayed with my son and the only slight issue for us was that there isn't a living room, but two large double bedrooms. We're not particularly fussed about nightlife, tending to spend all day out and then wanting to relax in the evening. We sat on the balcony of one of the bedrooms most evenings, but I think if I'd read the apartment description more clearly I would have realised.....! If you're a night owl, it really doesnt matter, but maybe if you want to sit and chat or play cards, it's a little more tricky. That having been said, Claudio is great and so was Rome - no regrets!!
