Isa's apartment was beautiful and very centrally located for exploring Florence. She left us a lovely welcome basket and her friend, Alessandro, met us at the apartment, helped us with our luggage and very helpfully told us about local transport and the area. I had mentioned we would be celebrating our birthdays while on the trip and Isa and Alessandro even left us a hand drawn card! It was very kind, and we saved it as a memento of the trip. :-)

Thanks very much to you both. We would highly recommend the apartment - better than the pictures even convey.
