Luciano was very helpful and friendly at the arrival. The neighbourhood has a genuine touch and you get a sense of Roma "off piste" the regular turist trail. The apartment is very close to a great grocery store and two high quality restaurants (especially Daloda). Once the yellow metro line opens, it will be very easy access to the city centre. But both bus and trams work fine in the meantime (you can buy tickets at the newspaper kiosks). Pigneto is definately a place to come back to!
