Gianni's place in Pigneto was a very cute apartment. It had all the necessary furnishings and kitchen items. Appliances all seemed to work well. The apartment is generally very spacious, but the bathroom and shower are pretty small. The elevator is definitely helpful for bringing up bags. The air conditioning worked well, which was important given how hot it was during our stay in the middle of August. Gianni was very flexible and helpful as we were dealing with delayed flights and lost luggage, and we are very grateful for that.
The location is also great, as the 5 and 14 trams take you directly to Termini station (about 20 minutes), and the 19 tram can be used to go around to the Borghese or Vatican--a longer ride, but no transfers necessary. Pigneto itself is a very cool neighborhood with good restaurants , shops, and bakeries/cafes all within walking distance (we'd recommend: Sant'Alberto for pizza, Fattori for gelato, and Pastry Cafe Orsini). It's very nice avoiding the big tourist crowds found in other parts of Rome!
