Me and my friend had a great stay at Francesco's flat. It's very cool, and I've been thinking about stealing his idea for bookshelves since the first time I entered the apartment. One of us used the bedroom and one of us the inflatable bed, both was very comfortable. The flat is on a street with traffic all through the night, so if you're a light sleeper, don't forget your earplugs.

Francesco was not in Rome when we arrived or left, but the check in/out was not a problem.

I loved Pigneto, a real haven away from the tourist masses in the more central parts of Rome. For eating, I can recommend Rosti, and don't miss I Porchettini if you like your pork.
