We had an amazing stay at Colette's place. Beginning with Colette, she was very nice and was pleasant to deal with. Before we arrived she had offered to meet us at the train station to accompany us to her place, but it ended up being simpler for all just to meet at her place. Although was a very nice gesture so think it worth mentioning here. On our arrival she was waiting to greet us in front of her building and assisted us into the apartment. She walked us through and showed us around the place answering any questions and giving suggestions on things to do, getting to nearest bus line, walking directions to popular attractions and made her self available on how to best contact her for any reason. One of my favorite things was the little map she had made and left with us of the neighborhood with things like nearest pharmacy, restaurants worth trying,gelatarias to name a few. The apartment was very,very clean. That was very important to us as we were traveling with a one year old at the time. Location as far as distance to attractions was great too. I was initially worried that we would not be within walking distance of the Colosseum or St. Peter's, but this was not the case. We were easily able to get to those attractions on foot. She had a dedicated wireless router so no problem at all getting a signal anywhere in the flat. An amplifier attached to a couple of speakers with an auxiliary audio cable so you can connect to and play music from any smartphone,ipod(any device with an audio-out jack). The roof-terrace connected through the bedroom was very nice to have as well. No problems at all with getting hot water in the shower. She had also left a basket of fruits, which was very nice to have and gave us a healthy way to start the day or snack after so many meals in restaurants. Pretty quiet area which made for a great quiet nights rest (need i mention the baby once more :-) ) and not much light that gets into the bedroom at night. The sun does pour in,in the morning, but you can block that with the shutters if you decide you're sleeping in. We had a great stay at Colette's. Thanks for hosting us and the great hospitality Colette.
