From start to finish, the place was fantastic.
Roberto was flexible with check-in and greeted us at the apartment for a quick tour of the place, and a cold bottle of wine in the fridge always helps! First thing you notice is how bright and well decorated the place is, and how immaculately clean it is top to bottom. The apartment had everything it promised on the listing including a very well equipped kitchen, great air con and all the washing/ironing things you might need for your clothes. The furniture and the bed were all generous in size and super comfortable, even offering two types of pillows for fussy sleepers. The built in Bluetooth speakers and subtle musical theme in the lounge area are a classy touch, while the plants throughout and the balcony with enough space for two to sit out create a peaceful environment.
The location in Pigneto being a short trip (20 mins) from lots of the big tourist attractions means it’s a little less busy and perhaps slightly more authentic feeling than other areas in Rome. The pedestrianised streets of Pigneto are lively and full of character, and only about a minute away on foot. Roberto has some excellent recommendations of places to go nearby, most notable for us was a restaurant called Mile which is almost visible from the balcony. There are also cafes, shops, bars and even a street market.
At the end of our stay Roberto was again flexible with check out and we couldn’t fault his hosting! He was always available and very helpful if we had any questions.
Be aware that staying here you do need to climb a few sets of stairs to reach the apartment but it’s well worth it for the quiet night’s sleep!
A well deserved five stars on all fronts, thanks Roberto and Debora!
