This was a fantastic place to stay in Rome. The apartment is big and comfortable, on a cobblestone street in the heart of the Centro Storico. It is on the same block as the Ponte Sisto to Trastevere and walking distance to the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Ghetto, and the Trevi Fountain. There is a first-rate gelato place just downstairs and a market across the street for basics. Three blocks away is the Campo dei Fiori, which has a daily farmer's market.

Luigi was an excellent host. He was there to greet us, answered all our questions, instantly responded to the one call we made to him, arranged for a convenient van service to and from the airport, and was there to check us out early in the morning. He is from the neighborhood and obviously takes great pride in it. I heartily recommend staying at Pettinari.
