Elly's apartment was very quaint! We felt like we were staying in a cabin on the top floor- not a bad thing for us! The terrace was definitely the best part and after a long day of sight seeing in Florence, it was great to sit outside with a bottle of wine and watch the sun set.
The apartment is very near the large market in Florence. They have a huge food-court type thing on the top floor which made for a very convenient coffee or breakfast in the morning or lunch to-go if needed. The trattoria Za Za is around the corner and we had the steak florentine there-- excellent!
The bathroom is quite small and the shower head is adjacent to the toilet-- you unfold the shower walls and create your own cubicle in the bathroom. It was fine for us, but after three days wee were ready for a little more space. We had one terrific thunder storm while were there and we did have some rain water leak in from the terrace-- again, we laughed as we grabbed all the towels and we were fine (all was dry by morning). It should be known that it was seriously POURING rain, too. I'm not sure this would happen with just a sprinkle.
All in all, a good experience! Elly sat down with us and mapped out the entire city with very informative recommendations. We took her up on several and we're not disappointed. She is sweet and charming-- just like the apartment! :)
