Beatrice warmly welcomed us to her lovely, light and spacious apartment in Oltrarno. Beatrice was kind an accommodated our scheduled arrival so we could maximize our time in Florence and also get some rest after a long trip. The apartment was bigger than expected - it has a great, bright living/kitchen area, two good sized bathrooms and a bedroom that looks out onto the inner courtyard - which makes it lovely and quiet, you can't hear any street noise at all.

Beatrice was a great host - the kitchen was well equipped and she left some excellent restaurant reccomendations.

I would definitely stay in this apartment again - it is a short walk to the sites that make Florence famous, but in a quiet neighborhood with local restaurants that make you feel worlds away from the throngs of tourists. I loved it!
