My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Claudio's apartment in Rome. It had all the facilities we needed, especially the small (but perfectly sufficient) kitchen area and the washing machine/dryer. Yes, the shower area was small but manageable and the power was very good which made up for it. Claudio himself was an excellent host - he met us off the bus (in the rain!) from the station when we arrived, and when we left he helped carry our bags back to the bus stop and even gave us tickets so we didn't have to worry about that! A fantastic stay in Rome and would highly recommend.
