Emiliano is a really great host! Very friendly, helpful and devoted. His personal and easy going approach made us feel so relaxed. Fast and easy communication and good advice about Rome. Flexible.
Pigneto is a unique and special part of Rome, a great experience in itself. It is urban, lively, casual and artistic. A lot of cafes, bars and restaurants, especially along Via del Pigneto. Nice atmosphere, and we came to feel quite at home. We had a great dinner at l'Idillio just around the corner, returned for the delicious pizza's at Sant'Alberto's more than once, and couldn't get enough of the Italian breakfast cornetto and cappuccino at Dar Ciriola, their vanilla cream cornetto is a must have. Dinner and drink prices in Pigneto are lower than in more touristic and central parts of the city. The tram to Termini Central Station is really close by, its fast and runs all the time during the day, which makes this an excellent starting point to discover Rome.
Yet, the apartment is in an quiet area. It is spacious, clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. Everything was as expected – being a renovated basement, we were prepared that during the rainy month of November, it could get humid and a little cold – and it did, especially the bottom floor and the kitchen. Nevertheless, the sleeping loft was warm and comfortable with the heating on.
