Francesco's house was stylish, comfortable and in a good location, close to the bars and restaurants of Pigneto, with two metro stops and many supermarkets nearby. We were met by Luciano in Francesco's absence, who was ready to advise us on local bars, though this wan't needed as I know Rome very well. He did however recommend a fish restaurant to eat that I hadn't tried and it was very good. This is a good sign as there are not many places I do not know in the area, having lived there twice, for years at a time. The house was good value and ideal for a couple, with a well functioning kitchen. It also had a desk area and good WiFi, so is fine for working. Overall a very good option for a couple wanting to stay in the Pigneto zone, allowing for a more 'real' experience with easy access to the tourist centre.
