Elsa's husband Salvatore met us shortly after we arrived, carried my bags up the 3 gentle flights of stairs to the apartment, showed me around and helped check the WiFi. After that we settled into what was my perfect image of an Italian apartment in Florence. We enjoyed four nights there. Only problem for light sleepers is that that apartment is in the center of Florence and there tends to be a lot of noise through the night and early morning.. including bells from the Duomo that can be seen from the apartment window. But given everything else, I would accept some noise to enjoy this apartment. it was wonderful.
