Our stay at Claudia's apartment was wonderful. The unit had everything we needed and the location was excellent for us. We were maybe a five minute walk from the Vatican in a lovely quiet neighborhood. The local restaurants were a lot less expensive than the restaurants by the tourist attractions and there were several markets to buy food to bring back to the apartment. Getting to and from the airport was easy also. Claudia arranged for a private car to pick us up and our driver Fabio was wonderful.
So, the most important thing for my trip with apartments was location. We did not have a car so getting around on foot was crucial. Using the map app on my iPhone it was easy walking to places like the Colosseum. If we got tired in the evening we would catch a taxi back and it averaged 15 euros, so not bad at all. Also, Rome is an extremely busy city, like New York. So I can't express enough how nice it was to be in a quite neighborhood with hustle and bustle of the city a few minutes walk away. I would highly recommend Claudia's apartment to my friends and stay here again.
