We really enjoyed our stay here. Claudio is a "super host!" He met us when we arrived and gave us detailed directions about the apartment, the public transportation system, and how to enjoy Rome. The place is within walking distance to the Vatican. The walk back is mostly uphill. The bus stop is right in front of the apartment and gets you close to sites. The bed was great. The place is roomier than the pictures show. The balcony was great. No complaints, recommend without reservation.
