My boyfriend and I had a wonderful 4 night stay in Sara’s Pigneto apartment. The flat is wonderfully situated within easy walking distance of many fantastic restaurants and bars. Far enough out of the city centre to avoid the crowds, but close enough to walk to the colosseum in under half an hour.
Locally, we loved Sara’s recommendations for Betto y Mary and Dar Parucca: proper roman trattorias.
Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone coming for a short stay in Rome.
