My boyfriend and I stayed at Mauro's place for 9 nights seeking an opportunity to experience living in a real Roman neighborhood, with the idea that we would get to know local shops and cook most meals at home. Lovely Pigneto far surpassed our expectations to do so with an abundance of grocers, an outdoor market, and a 24-hour pastry shop right across the street. Even with the terrible weather we had on our trip, we felt so cozy and comfortable in the apartment and the neighborhood we didn't mind not getting into the center very much. Unlike most other Airbnb's I've stayed at in Rome, Mauro's apartment was so quiet at night we slept terrifically. I could keep going but for the sake of brevity I'll simply say--we can't wait to return again.
