Just wanted to resubmit my review because I didn't realize AirBNB requires one review per visit! Both stays in Elisabetta and Claudia's Senape room were fantastic and I would highly recommend this oasis of peace in the middle of Florence!!! Here is my review again -
I stayed at Elisabetta and Claudia's lovely studio apartment on two set of dates - Sept 2nd to the 4th and again on Sept 13th, checking out on the 14th morning. Elisabetta is a warm and welcoming person and host. Very prompt in responding to emails and questions; and very accommodating with change requests and changed itineraries. She even came down to help me with my suitcase - the apartment is on the 3rd floor as shown in the listing. She takes the time to show you the apartment and point out everything that is on hand to make your visit very comfortable. She provided me with very helpful information with a map about getting around Florence and also gave me good suggestions about places to eat and visit. Unfortunately I did not meet Claudia. The apartment is stunning, clean and very home like. Very restful energy - the bed and mattress are perfect for a really tired out back! I loved the little red sofa seat in the reading nook. Nice to come back to at the end of the day and write your notes. I highly recommend this apartment. It is very conveniently located and is on a peaceful street. And mainly because Elisabetta will make your visit very comfortable! Grazie mille! It was pleasure meeting you. Rashmi P. S. - As it says in the description, there is no elevator. I can see why - it is a building from the 1700s with no space for one! So, I would suggest travelling light because this apartment is totally worth it. :-)
