Max is very kind - he even picked us up from the station! He sent loads of useful tips about where to eat etc.
The Pigneto neighbourhood is really great - bursting with life, lots of great bars and restaurants (especially Necci), murals all over the place, a good mixed feel to it. Definitely in the process of gentrification but not yet spoiled. Very convenient metro takes you to San Giovanni where you pick up the A line to Termini, the Vatican etc.
The apartment is sweet - small but has everything you need including a comfy bed and air con in the bedroom. Plus a lovely little garden area to sit out for breakfast etc. The only downside was I did get bitten a lot by mosquitoes- don’t forget the repellent.
All round highly recommended.
