Elisabetta´s place was perfect for us, as we are two young people exploring the city of Florence during our semester of study in Europe. If you are looking for luxury, this is probably not the place for you; it was quite clean and perfectly functional, but the structure and apartment are on the older side. However, we had a great supply of hot water, working plugs, and most importantly, a FANTASTIC location to use as our home base. The apartment is up a hill on the side of the river opposite from most of the tourist sites of interest (but VERY easily walkable). Thus, it is somewhat removed from the hordes of tourist, and because it is home to more of the local population, it has some of the best bars and restaurants. The main inconvenience for us was that the apartment didn´t have wifi. However, this did force us to be more spontaneous and go-with-the-flow, and was also a great excuse to procrastinate doing homework.
