Our first visit to Rome was made immensely more rewarding and easy with the help of Colette and her husband. Initially Trastevere was quite confusing, but once we got our bearings, we realized how easy it was to get around. Colette was waiting for us at the residence, Colette and her husband, after we explained what sites we planned to see, gave us even more recommendations of sites that are not in any of Rick Steve's guide books. We loved Colette's place, and had hoped to book again on our return to Rome for our final two days before returning home, but it seems Colette is extremely popular. Book ahead is our lesson.
