Elisabetta was an EXCELLENT host. She responded to email SO fast and when I needed toilet paper at 11:30 at night she left some by the door! She gave us a great binder of restaurants and gelato she recommended. We tried a few of them and they were great! The neighborhood is very close to everything you'd want to visit in Florence and even has some good restaurant and coffee options on the street. The bed was nice and firm, the bathroom quite spacious, as was the room itself. All very very clean too. The only downside was the street noise. The way the buildings are constructed or the way the street is structured creates an echo that makes it seem like anyone down on the street below (also, reminder this apartment is 4 flights of stairs up) is right in your apartment and when there are FLOCKS of obnoxious drunk american college students talking and yelling outside your window at 1am I was not very happy. But...if you come equipped with earplugs or are a more sound sleeper than I am, you may not be bothered. Also, in cooler weather when the windows could be shut, it might not be as big of a concern but it was getting warm out and we needed to keep the windows open to be cool for sleeping at night.

All that said, we had a great time!
Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality Elisabetta!
