On a scale of 1-10, Claudio and his place deserve at a 17! Claudio is what you call a host's host. He made us feel like family as soon as we were picked up from the airport. I was traveling for business and took my mom with me to Europe for the first time and Claudio's place enhanced our stay to the point where I was comfortable leaving her alone while I booked a room at the conference hotel. Claudio is very knowledgeable and his place is was spotless. The bus is right outside his gated property and the Metro is about a 7-10 minute walk at best. Stay with Claudio. You will not be disappointed ; )
