We had a wonderful experience at Lorenzo's apartment when exploring the city of Rome. Lorenzo and his dad met us on arrival with smiles and his dad even helped carry one of our travel cases. Lorenzo showed us how to use the facilities (e.g. gas) and everything was pretty simple and straightforward. The flat was immaculately clean and decor was modern. We felt safe and relaxed and loved the compound where we would sit and have some dinner and wine in the evenings.

The apartment is very close to 3 transport stops (1 bus stop and 2 tram stops about 2-3 mins walk) and a Metro line (Pigneto, about 5mins walk) for easy connection to the city. Trams 5 and 14 connect to the main station, Termini. We preferred taking the tram as it was quicker and runs more often.

The flat is located in a lively neighbourhood called Pigneto which comes alive at night with rustic restaurants and chic bars. The nights in this area were memorable with people sitting outside cafes and restaurants enjoying a drink or two. Do not be put off by the graffiti (lots of graffiti) as it is not a scary neighbourhood at all, it is rather full of people relaxing with a drink and food.

There are lots of supermarkets all around and you can get everything you need just stepping out of the apartment.

Lorenzo kept in touch all through our stay to make sure we were okay. Him and his dad gave us a gift on our departure kindly packaged in an envelope with a lovely letter thanking us for staying in their apartment. They were a very kind and thoughtful host.

We highly recommend Lorenzo's apartment for when you visit the city of Rome.
