my visit to Rome got off to a great start when Claudia very kindly contacted me to say her apartment would be ready for an early check-in and when I arrived at 12:30am she was there herself to let me in. Claudia's apartment is lovely. the bedroom spacious and elegantly furnished, the bathroom spotlessly clean with an excellent shower, and the kitchen very modern, airy, and well equipped. the terrace however is the crown jewel, magnificent, whether for morning coffee, afternoon sunbathing, or relaxing evening meals. the local area is beautiful for walking, and you can reach anywhere in Rome from nearby bus stops, and I found days enjoying the hustle and bustle of Rome are made even more pleasurable when you can look forward to returning to Claudia's beautiful little "Rooftop Oasis" to recharge.
