We had a great experience staying at Fabiana's place - the apartment is beautiful and really well-situated in an interesting neighborhood. You can get into central Rome in abut 15 minutes by the regular trams that go from nearby, but it's definitely worth spending some time exploring Pigneto.

Fabiana was there to meet us when we arrived, gave us some great transport and restaurant tips, and though we didn't need to, we knew she was available if we needed to get in touch.
