Irene’s place is light filled and modern, with lovely traditional Italian features like tilled floors and a stove top percolator that make it feel authentic. Having coffee in the apartment and breakfast options allowed us to get straight out and explore in the morning and saved us some $$. There was only my partner and I but the apartment could comfortable hold another person or two/children.

The area of Pigneto is filled with hip and friendly locals, from families to 20 somethings and Irene/Maria offered fantastic suggestions on where to go as well as maps of the charming area + Rome central which were very helpful. We had the best gelato and pizza of our entire trip there in small family owned places.
We were very grateful for having a quite but cool area to return to after being in the tourist filled city visit crowded sights. Would recommend staying in both Irene’s apartment and Pigneto!
