The apartment was cozy and decorated with style. The CD and DVD collections were broad and eclectic, catering to more than one taste.

The apartment has one entrance to a quiet street right next to the pedestrian area of Pigneto. It also has a steel curtain with a motor, so opening and closing for the night are no big deal. There is also an entrance from a closed yard. There are some families with kids living next door who are pretty laid back and nice.

Alberto himself was very welcoming host and took care of things in orderly manner. His adorable mother popped by a few times on his behalf.

Only downside would be that it got a bit chily in the night inside, but when the outside temperatures are high enough, that doesn't really matter.

Some people say Pigneto is sketchy area but for me the more casual clothes, the more graffiti and people of color are around, the better.
