We had a great stay in Florence, the room and private bathroom were both very nice. The location of the apartment was great. It was nice being on the other side of the river away from the constant tourism that is Florence, yet the entire city remained within short walking distance. We never met Elisabetta, instead her nephew stayed in the apartment, while we didn't see him much he was very nice and helpful. The room did get very warm on some days, but we stayed there in early July so it wasn't unexpected. If there are any Americans staying abroad who miss bagels and drip coffee, check out Mama's Bakery a few blocks away.
