This apartment was an oasis from bustling Florence streets. Please note that the apartment does not have air conditioning however, Even with the grueling heat, it provided me with tranquility and comfort beyond measure. Ana welcomed me upon arrival, it made traveling solo that less intimidating. She provided me with a book filled with maps and recommendations for their favorite places in the city. There were many nights where I fell asleep to the sound of Italian conversations and soft guitar, and mornings filled with cool air and chimes of the church bells. I hope to be back in the cooler months of the year.
