We arrived very late on a weekend but Maria (Irene's friend) was very helpful with getting us a car service straight to the flat. The area is very quiet but it had everything we needed, supermarket, gelato, restaurants. The city centre is very easy to reach, Irene provided very detailed directions and both her and Maria were quick to reply to any concerns we had. We really appreciated the food that was already in the flat as we arrived very late, it was very clean and Irene even provided towels and all the essentials. Pigneto is quite a residential area, all the people we met were super friendly and there's plenty of public transport options. I would really recommend for anyone wanting to stay close to Rome centre but still quiet and would be good for a small family.
