Flora was wonderful. She actually recognized me on the corner as I was leaving her home to find wifi at a cafe to contact her. She let my husband and I leave our bags as the room was being cleaned, which was great. Her home is very spacious...probably the largest place we stayed in throughout our stay in all of the major Italian cities. The only warning is that there are two beams on the ceiling that you *will* hit your head on if you are taller than 5'11/6'0. My husband is 6'2 and hanged his head a few times...but if you are careful, it's a wonderful place to stay. Also you have to climb through a window to get to the apartment, which wasn't a huge deal for us at all, but if you have any problems with your legs/knees, you may want to figure something else out.
Overall, I would stay again and recommend to others looking to stay in a cool place with a history.
