chicca' s flat rocks. it's well-appointed with a gorgeous terrace, very functional kitchenette, excellent coffee maker, super fast wifi, and hipster luxe decor and bedding. it's very clean and safe with a gated courtyard and locked entrance.
the neighborhood-pigneto- has bus & tram routes to termini and porta maggiore where you can catch transpo to everywhere. 810 bus takes you to the colosseum and other tourist spots. staying in this neighborhood gave me a glimpse into authentic roman life with great restaurants (€5 pizza across the street) and markets within easy walking distance. chicca made me feel very welcome and was super helpful with transpo directions. upon arrival she walked me around the block to show me where to find stuff, and even arranged car svc to the airport for my early morning flight. she also provided a faq sheet with helpful safety info and restaurant recommendations. chicca and her excellent flat made this a great choice for my home base in roma.
