Pina's place is a great place to stay in Rome. It's large and well equipped. Super easy to make it into the center via the metro. Seriously takes like 10-15 minutes and it's cheap. We were glad to be out of the center as well to go to the grocery store and cheaper places to eat and stuff. Pina and her family were especially helpful to us to work with our changing schedule as we traveled up from Positano, getting the place ready short notice when we arrived earlier than expected. I think Pina's place is great value, and exactly what we were looking for for our time in Rome.
