Francesco's apartment is amazing, it's even cooler than the pictures can express. If I lived in Rome, Pigneto is definitely the neighborhood I would want to be in. It's a little rough on the edges, but it seemed to be the place where the most interesting people were, and there were great restaurants and nightlife. (Necci and Primo were my favorites.) It reminded me of where I live in Brooklyn. Francesco was a great host, timely and courteous. I have already recommended his apartment to my friends visiting Rome in a few months.
