Giovanna is very kind, and her home is beautiful. I had a few issues with the internet connection in my bedroom and the cleanliness of the bedding and towels when I arrived. When I mentioned my concerns, Giovanna addressed and fixed the issues right away. This place is best for shorter stays, since this is a shared home and there is not a lot of privacy. The rules of no visitors can become an issue if you are planning a longer stay.
The area of Pigneto is beautiful and about an hour walk from the center of rome (colosseum). The metro is right across the street from the apartment, and very easy to navigate.
