Elisabetta was a great host and was very helpful in recommending places to see and to eat. The apartment is in a great spot on the quiet side of the Arno river, near the Ponte Vecchio. It was very quiet and peaceful - a nice respite after the tourist crowds of the city. As there is only a bathtub, we missed having showers but that was the only drawback. The apartment is also large so there's plenty of space for everyone. It stays cool, which must be great in the hot summer, and Elisabetta keeps warm blankets in the living room, which we used on chilly mornings. There is also a space heater for warming up, in case it's needed. We enjoyed our stay here!
