Elly was a fantastic host. She met us at the train station (in the rain) and walked us to the apartment, pointing out supermarkets etc on the way . She left a helpful map with suggestions for dinner etc. There are close to 80 steep stairs to climb which is a struggle with suitcases and groceries, but worth it once you got there. The apartment is unique, quirky and cute ( we described it as our cubby house). It was fine for the 2 of us but would be tight if there were more people. The terrace was fantastic for dinner and breakfast. The shower and bathroom were tight and awkward but added to the experience. The location was perfect - so close to the food and leather markets ( fantastic for shopping and watching the World Cup in the new food court above the food market). This is a unique apartment in the roof tops of florence - the view reminded us of Mary Poppins!
