Claudio was very flexible about our schedule, but unable to meet us when we arrived. After we asked a neighbor, they found Claudio's mother who lives next door and she let us in, showed us around, and gave us keys. He stopped by unannounced later in the evening, but we were out at dinner. We did not figure out that the bedsheets were stored inside the cushions of the pullout couch, which was probably just a reflection of our own stupidity (or lack of familiarity with this style of pullout couch), but it would have been good to have had this explained to us. The location of the apartment is super close and convenient for visiting the Valle Dei Templi. The apartment is very nicely decorated and looks just like the photos. Our only real issue we had was that the dog next door barked incessantly at night, which made it impossible for any of us to get to sleep until after 4 am. I'm sure this was an unusual situation (I couldn't believe the poor dog did not wear himself out after so many hours of barking), but it could have been easily remedied with ear plugs if we'd known it was even a possibility. At any rate, the apartment is close to a major road, so there is a lot of white noise from cars passing by (though that would not have kept us from sleeping). Though we never met him, Claudio seems like a very nice guy. He invited us to breakfast, but we needed to get on the road. The apartment is lovely and the air conditioner was nice to have since it was so hot when we visited in July. We were there only for one night and didn't do any cooking, but the apartment seemed well-appointed for that if we had wanted to. He left us a nice big bottle of cool water in the fridge.
