Three in our party. Me, my wife and our 22 year old son.

Colette and her husband gave us a great welcome and were extremely friendly and informative, they provided detailed explanations of the flat and the necessities we needed to know. They were also very quick to reply to any queries and questions we sent them during our stay.

We were blown away by the welcome gifts of fruit (cherries, peaches, apricots) , biscuits, brioche, butter and preserves. Totally unexpected, delightful and much appreciated surprise!

We had an abundance of towels, bath size and smaller, and no shortage of hot water for showers and washing. The bedding was lovely. Good quality and well laundered. The beds are really comfortable and we all slept well; although close to restaurants the apartment is very quiet. The air conditioning functioned perfectly keeping us cool during the hot nights.

The balcony was a huge bonus. Morning coffee in the sun (although a sunshade is there if needed) and somewhere to sit in peace and quiet with a drink in the evening.

Location was fantastic. Trastevere is a great location to stay in Rome. Lots of picturesque, small streets to wonder around and cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and drink in. Somewhere to sit, relax and watch the world go by.

We didn’t need to use the buses or trams during our stay in Rome. From Colette’s house it is a 30 minute stroll in one direction to the Colosseum and the same in the other direction to the Vatican. You see so much more whilst walking! What a great location.

On our last day, we had to leave very early to get to the airport and Colette arranged a taxi for us which was waiting outside the front door and cheaper than getting one from a taxi rank.

Colette and her apartment really made our stay in Rome a memorable one. We have stayed in a number of Airbnb apartments in other cities and this is one of the best. Highly recommended.

Thank you Colette.
