For my girlfriends birthday we decided to go away to Rome for a week. Diego's flat was well laid out, spacious and the air-conditioning was a welcome relief after days in the hot Italian sun. Although we never got to meet Diego, we were looked after by his friend Leonardo. Leonardo was a perfect host and gentlemen, providing directions, good local area knowledge (L'Idillios -check it out) and even helped me organise a surprise birthday cake! He made us feel extremely welcome and it was re-assuring to know he was just a phonecall away if we ever needed anything.

Pignetto is a great area that really comes alive in the evening, loads of good food, drink and entertainment. It's only only a 15minute tram ride away from Termini station which is super handy. One bit of advice transport wise - stay away from buses!
