Claudio is a fantastic host! The apartment is well located for ease around the city. We walked to the Vatican, though it is an easy bus ride. And it was an easy ride to get to everything we wanted to see. If you desire, there is a major grocery store just a short walk away with anything you need.
The best part about the stay was Claudio! He arranged travel for us from the airport, and when the return trip fell through, he took it upon himself to ensure safe and timely arrival back at the airport for departure! He responds in a very timely manner to communication and has a wealth of knowledge so you get the most out of your visit to Rome. He went above and beyond for us, and we could not have been any happier with Claudio and Giardino Vaticano! If you don't stay here, you are doing yourself a disservice!
