We really liked staying in the neighborhood of Pigneto- it is really fun and not touristy at all, which is so refreshing from most of Rome. The apartment was big for a studio, and comfortable. It was also very quiet at night, which is unusual for Rome! When we arrived at the building, we thought it looked a little suburban and residential, but we were only a 10 minute walk away from the main Pigneto area, with tons of bars, restaurants, and shops.

While we loved the location, it may not be as convenient for sightseeing as some other, closer in neighborhoods since it is not on a metro line and you can't walk to any major tourist site. However there are many buses and a tram that runs every few minutes and goes straight to Termini in 15 minutes. We enjoyed being a little removed from the tourist craziness.
