My husband and I truly enjoyed meeting Colette and her husband and felt privileged to be their guests for a week. Colette's home is charming and has anything that a traveler would need during a stay in Rome and more. Being the size of a typical Trastevere apartment (the only place we ever stay in Rome), it could have felt somewhat cramped. However, it is obvious that Colette cared about creating a special place and has been successful in doing so. She has the ingenuity to utilize the space well while still maintaining a sense of style and providing a comfortable place to live. Besides being well-equipped, the apartment has plenty of closet and drawer space so that one can feel at home. Not only did we sleep well there; we cooked and dined, did laundry, ate cornetti on the terrazzina, and read in the living room. Restaurants, gelaterias, markets, pasticcerias, pubs, and shops were so close that one could not walk off even one bite of pasta on the way to or from any of these establishments. All interactions with our host went smoothly and she even indulged me by allowing me to practice my Italian. Grazie mille, Colette per tutto!
