Claudio was a great host. He provided us with maps of the city and two bus cards to start our day. Location was great because of the bus station right in front of the building. The bus takes you almost anywhere. The apartment was safe and the area too. The Vatican city is walking distance from the apartment. If you don't live in a metropolitan area, getting to and from the apartment can be challenging at first. Overall, the apartment was great. The US plugging adapter was a nice touch and of course very helpful.
