Andrea's friend Elisabetta greeted us as Andrea was away. However, the information and greeting we received was as great as one could hope. We were provided with tips and information on how to get around as well as some cool places to go. Overall the hosting service was fantastic.

The location is perfect. Being on the South side of the Arno means one is away from the hustle and bustle of noisy tourists while remaining within walking distance of literally every site one could wish to see. Being in the artist district means the apartment is surrounded with quaint shops that sell local art and a few amazing delicatessens.

The apartment is lovely and cosy. Perfect for a couple. Even though there was no air conditioning, the apartment was perfectly cool even in the August heat (a fan was provided too). All amenities that one could want are provided as well as a lovely bottle of wine for good measure. One word of warning, the photo provided is not the view from the apartment. The apartment itself backs on to a courtyard.
