My husband and I loved Colette's place in Trastevere!! Check in was really easy and flexible. We were a few minutes late because our train was delayed, but Colette and her husband were very understanding. They met us at the apartment, showed us how everything worked and had maps for us that they went over, detailing restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and places to get gelato in the neighborhood as well as the best ways to get around to the major sites. These maps really came in handy and we visited many of their recommendations, all of which were great! We walked everywhere (about 20-30 minutes to the Colosseum, Vatican, etc. and about 45 minutes to Galleria Borghese and Termini) and only used public transportation when we went to Ostia Antica. The apartment is located in a great area of Trastevere, close to good restaurants and bars and close to the Ponte Sisto. The little square right by the bridge was lively at night and we heard some great street performers there. Although the street is busy every night, we had no issues with noise in the apartment. Both balconies are great and we enjoyed a few meals outside as we had great weather! We had every intention of cooking in the kitchen but we loved the food in Rome so much that we only made coffee and toast at the apartment. If we had decided to cook a meal, everything was present in the kitchen to do so, including basics like salt and olive oil. They even left us some cookies, bread, jam and butter, as well as fresh fruit which we enjoyed! The wifi signal was strong, the bathroom was the largest we had out of the 3 AirBnB's we stayed at in Italy, the hot water and water pressure were great as well, the bed was comfortable and the apartment was very clean. We had an amazing time in Rome and wish we had been able to stay longer! Next time we visit Rome we will definitely check to see if this apartment is available as it was everything we were looking for and more! Thank you Colette and Raffael!!
