If you're ever visiting Rome, regardless of for how long, you must stay with Giovanna! This was the best AirBnB experience I've had. The house was spacious, very clean, and looks just like the pictures. With the stylish decoration and the rooftop terrace - a wonderful place to spend evenings - you'll feel like you're authentically in Italy, much more so than if you chose a hotel. Both my room & the common areas were supremely comfortable, really a home away from home.
The neighborhood, Pigneto, is the perfect place to stay. Five to ten years ago, it was one of the less safe areas of Rome - and there are a few posts on the Internet mentioning this - but today, Pigneto is a thriving & vibrant local neighborhood, with lots of trattorias, restaurants, cafes, and cocktail bars lining the main street, Via del Pigneto, which is just around the corner from the house. It's extremely safe even late into the night, because the streets are so well-lit and there are always many people sitting outside enjoying wine and pasta. As a bonus, because it's a non-touristic area, the food is often 25-50% cheaper than you would find in a place like Piazza Navona, and much better as well! You can access the main sights in just a few stops from the Metro Line C, which is just two minutes' walk from the house's front door.
Giovanna herself was a hugely warm and welcoming host. She brought me to try the best food I had in Rome at Osteria Bonelli, invited all the guests to a little rooftop pizza party with her friends, and showed us all the best of Roman hospitality. Will definitely stay with Giovanna again, next time I'm in town. Grazie mille, Giovanna!
