Colette and her husband were warm and welcoming hosts after our long journey to Rome. We arrived an hour earlier than anticipated and they both were really understanding, even letting us drop our bags off before check-in time.

The apartment is well-equipped for a long stay. It's clean and welcoming. The wifi in the apartment is the fastest I've ever experienced in Europe! The signal even works from the rooftop terrace. The small clothes washer also works great and is easy to use. Keep in mind if you're from Canada/US, washing machines in Europe have longer cycles, so don't panic if it's still going after an hour. It did a better job cleaning our clothes than our washer at home. The bed is a futon and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with an oven, bar fridge, microwave, and lots of counter space to cook. The apartment is also very quiet considering it's in the heart of the bustling exciting Trastevere neighbourhood! The apartment is situated on one of the most charming streets I've ever stayed. We didn't eat at home once since outside our door were lovely restaurants and bars. A wonderful wine bar called Trastevere Kmzero is just down the street from Colette's apartment and we went there every evening before dinner since they served plates made up of delicious local produce, cheeses, and breads, as well as wine for 2 euros a glass! And there was also a handy gelato place across the street. A small grocery store was 2 doors down where we'd load up on bottled water at a reasonable price.

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality,
Mel and Rob
