From beginning to end, our stay with Colette and Raffaele was "perfetto"! The apartment was "carino": spacious, airy, well-lit. Despite the absence of an oven, we still prepared a few fabulous meals in the kitchen, including coniglio con peperoni served with puntarelle and cicoria prepared a la Romana. The bed was extremely comfy! It was delightful to have caffe and cornetti on the terrazzo off of the bedroom. The bathroom is large and the washer worked great. When we had problems with the stove, Raffaele immediately came back to the apartment and gave us instructions (it had to do with the moka we brought to make coffee, not the stove itself). When we arrived we were greeted by a bowl of fruit and a bag of biscotti! The kitchen had many of the basics we needed to cook (olive oil, vinegar, salt/pepper/spices, butter, etc.) The location was fantastic and, although we were concerned about the noise coming from the Vicolo del Cinque (which is one of the most popular streets in Trastevere), there were no problems. The weather was delightful and we kept the outside doors and windows open all of the time. This is the fifth different apartment we have rented in Trastevere and will definitely look to rent it again when we return. Grazie mille Colette e Raffaele!
