Pierluigi met us upon arrival and was extremely gracious and helpful in getting us settled in. He recommended a great restaurant around the corner and even made reservations for us for that night. The neighbourhood itself is just off the main tourist areas so had a quieter and more relaxed vibe.
The apartment itself looks out into a canopy of trees beside the river and there are 2 walkouts to take in the air and soak up Roman atmosphere if you wish or extra thick glass on the doors to keep it outside if you don't. It was spotlessly clean with 2 and a half modern bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms at either end of the unit, perfect for us and the couple we were travelling with to share but have privacy at the same time. I have no problem recommending this place at all.
Pierluigi also has other apts. in Rome and other cities which we would strongly consider on any subsequent trips to Italy.
