Ivan was a welcoming and thoughtful host. He gave me a tour of the neighbourhood filled with useful information and that gave me a good feel for the place.
Pigneto is a district that visitors might miss if they did not stay there. It is lively, colourful and “real”. I enjoyed coming back there after sightseeing in the centre to sit out in the restaurants and bars.
The apartment has a great location. You step out right into the the action, yet inside it is perfectly quiet. I found it a very suitable base from which to explore Rome. It is comfortable, clean and nicely appointed. Supermarket and metro are 2 minutes walk.
