Alberta made me feel very welcome - she came to Termini station to pick me up even though it was before check in time and let me drop my bag off whilst she cleaned the apartment. She gave me lots of info on the way to the apartment about which bus/tram/train to get to different attractions. The apartment was just as described....clean and basic - just what we needed for our stay. We didn't really spend too much time there! It is nice and quiet in the apartment, beds comfy too.

The neighbourhood isn't the most attractive when you first arrive but do not be put off. We were really happy with the location and glad we were not staying in central Rome. Transport is very closeby and regular! The Pigneto is very lively at night with a street just of Via L'Aquila with lots of bars and restaurants. Mimi's on Via L'Aquila is also worth a visit. Really friendly owners and lovely food. Lots of interesting street art all over the Pigneto! Overall great visit and would definitely recommend.
