We were greeted by Sumiyo at the front door as if she sensed we were there. She helped us upstairs and showed us her nice apartment. She had treats for us, showed us a map of the area and gave restaurant recommendations. The apartment was wonderful, looking just as it did in the photos. It was very convenient to the major sites in Florence and we were able to easily walk everywhere we wanted to go. She kept in contact with us to be sure everything was okay. We left to walk to the train to Rome after she helped carry a suitcase to the street. We got on our train, sat down and soon heard a tapping on our window. There was Sumiyo standing there with our camera that we didn't even realize we'd forgotten. We were highly impressed with her apartment and her caring attitude. If we return to Florence we hope we can stay at her apartment again!
