Pigneto - I loved the area. In September you see 90 % locals. Bars, trattoria, different restaurants, cafes, bakery, supermarkets and metro nearby. Termini (central station is 30 min by walking). Your flat is really nice Gerard. I wanted to steal the beautiful closet ;) Gerard gives great tips. Be aware that trains are passing by and it is loud every half an hour. But I guess in all Rome it is louder than in other countries. I explored other areas like Monti or Travestere but for me it was way too touristy and I was happy to go „home“ in the evening to Pigneto
