Ruben and Angelo’s place is a little piece of heaven, located in a walkable neighborhood in Rome. The room is sunny and spacious and the bed is extremely comfortable. We could not have loved Ruben and Angelo more. They were so kind and welcoming-offering tips for local eateries and providing explicit instructions so that we could navigate the area. Note*** their apartment is not in the city center and you will need to learn to use the tram and metro system to get to the center, but that is one of the BEST parts about the Pigneto neighborhood! You are close to a pedestrian walking zone, with an excellent feminist bookshop/bar/coffee shop (Tuba) that serves full-bodied red wine with chips and there is an amazing breakfast shop just across the way from the apartment that makes the best cappuccino we had all trip. We have been traveling throughout Italy and miss our hosts and their dog, Biche, already!
Next time we return, we know just where to stay!
