Pina and her family made us feel so welcome. The apartment is fantastic, and the nearest metro station is only 20 minutes from many of the most famous landmarks of Rome. The surrounding neighborhood is very "real;" there really were no tourists besides us, and vendors spoke little to no English. Totally navigable and a less cliché, tourist-y approach to visiting Rome. We enjoyed really amazing dinners and desserts each night thanks to Pina's detailed recommendations in her handbook. We also appreciated all of the amazing details in the apartment that made it feel so much more comfortable than a hotel: full toiletries, complimentary snacks and wine, handbooks and maps, access to past guests' guestbook entries, and a washing machine. Every aspect of our experience here was thoughtful and warm thanks to Pina's family. The view from the apartment alone makes it worth it!
