We loved the apartment and its location. It is very spacious for two people and it is located in the Pigneto neighborhood, just outside the south end of the Rome walls. The apartment is within 5 minutes from a tram station and 10 minutes from 3 subway stations so transportation going to see the sights was never an issue. It is not a tourist area but it is a "safe" working people's neighborhood meaning we had no worries about walking back home from the subway at night (note: we took the bus one night and in Rome, stick to trams and subways, they are much better in terms of comfort and speed...)

Anyways, what also made the location great is that within a 5 minute walk, you are on Via del Pigneto - a walking street where in the morning, you can buy your vegetables directly from the farmers and at night, the whole street becomes busy with bars that serve aperitivos starting at 17:00 and multiple restaurants that open around 19:00 with their terrasses on the street.

For checking in, the owner - Massimo - met us directly at the apartment on the first day and had even taken the time to get the AC going before we got there to as it was hot. He then took a few minutes to explain everything in and around the apartment, even recommending different places and restaurants around the apartment such as the best places for coffee and dinner. (note: the Reset cafe he recommended that is just a 2-minute walk from the aprtment became our favorite place for coffee every morning... and even aperitivos in the evening!)

As for service, Massimo is first class, for example:

- Massimo provides everything you need for your stay in the apartment is there and there is even a bottle of water and a bottle of wine to get you started;

- He provides a binder with multiple ideas and examples of restaurants and things to see in Rome and he even provides a guidebook and maps to browse things to see and do in Rome when you're in the apartment;

- He took care of making arrangements for a return limo service form the apartment to the airport upon our return.

- He was there upon our departure time to make sure evrything went smoothly.

All in all, this apartment is highly recommended for:

- Very nice and spacious apartment in a safe and quiet neighborhood;

- Superior service from the owner, making your stay in Rome even more enjoyable!

Thank you Massimo for helping make our 1-week stay in Rome feel at home,
