Everything about Elisabetta's place was perfect. Her and Giovanni met us (and were so understanding when our flight was delayed and delayed) and they carried our bags upstairs for us and introduced us to the apartment. She left us with snacks, water, and wine, all of which we needed after a long day of travel. Her restaurant recommendations were perfect. The area was perfect: Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio and the Arno, and many more museums are a stones throw away, the Duomo and the Accademia (David) are about 5-10 minute walks, respectively. The apartment itself is light, airy, and mostly quiet (no street noise!). We loved the sound of the bells from the Palazzo Vecchio and the view of the Arno out the main room window. Florence is like a second home to me. I lived there for a semester in college and this is the first time I've returned since then. It was magical to reacquaint myself with this beautiful city and share it with those I love. Perfect cannot even describe our week, and so much of that is owed to Elisabetta's hospitality. I will be back, and if it's still available, I would stay again in Elisabetta's apartment in a heartbeat!
