Staying at Elisabetta's apartment was a pleasure from the start. I was warmly welcomed by Elisabetta and her son and got a good tour of the apartment and the nearby facilities.

The apartment itself was all that I could have hoped for - clean, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. I had use of the kitchen and the washing machine, which was very convenient and the wifi signal was excellent (also a big help).

There is a lot of art on the walls (done by Elisabetta and her husband) and this gives the apartment a nice feel.

The apartment is a bit of a walk from the city centre but it was not a problem because it is very well serviced by public transport - a short walk to the bus stop and a 15 minute ride into the city. Having said that, I walked back to the apartment on a few occasions and enjoyed taking in another part of Florence.

Elisabetta is a caring, friendly and generous host. She made sure that I was comfortable and had everything that I needed during my stay.

Although I was a solo traveller, the apartment would be equally suitable for a couple or a pair. I highly recommend Elisabetta's apartment as a place to stay while visiting Florence.
