What a wonderful place to stay. The apartment is a three minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio but is wonderfully quiet. The couch and beds are comfortable and the kitchen well furnished. The view of the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens can't be beat. But best of all was Maria Elisa herself. We encountered a couple of glitches (not her fault) for which we needed her help and she arrived quickly and took care of them swiftly. She gave us several pieces of good advice and made certain that a taxi arrived at the exact moment we needed to head to the airport. When we next come to Florence, we will certainly stay with her again.
