Laksmi and Stelvio are wonderful hosts, easy to communicate with and attentive.
The apartment and building are beautiful old treasures with modern conveniences like an elevator and top of the line bathroom appliances— yes, the shower is hand-held (but aren’t we all?) It wasn’t a problem.
Location, location, location. Save the cab rides to and from station, the apartment is five minutes away from SMN on foot. Every main attraction is within a reasonable walking distance. The room can be noisy at night, but that is part of the charm of being in the center of things. We walked so much during the day, and ate so many great dishes, that coming back to a comfortable and clean home allowed us to sleep like babies.
Stelvio had great recommendations—which we followed to the letter and enjoyed thoroughly. Laksmi has created a chic, classic Florentine apartment. We loved their home.
We had a great time and left wishing we could stay longer.
