Eugenia was very helpful in describing the best way for me to get from the Airport to her apartment, and she made sure that her sister was there to greet me when I arrived at the apartment. I am a musician, and I will be in Italy for two months, so I brought an 88 key portable piano (with headphones) and some recording equipment with me. When I asked about leaving the piano and a 50 lb. suitcase with her while I visited Cinque Terre for 10 days, I offered to pay for the storage in her apartment next door -- but she said it would be no problem and she didn't accept any money for storage -- she suggested tipping the housekeeper instead (which I did), since she helped me move the luggage to Eugenia's apartment next door. The studio flat was perfect for me -- it is beautifully decorated with small furnishings that make you think you are living in a fairytale doll house in a magical city -- it is very attractive. I met a violinist while in Florence and she dropped by after a concert one evening --- she couldn't believe how everything just fit perfectly in this small studio apartment -- the kitchen area has a surface element for cooking, a small refrigerator, sink and all the pots and pans and dishes you need. The private bath is good sized, not at all cramped. It is very nice to live in a space that is so very clean and well appointed -- good color choices also. The location is perfect -- a few Florentine blocks from St. Croce and lots of fun restaurants, bars and grocery stores. I plan to come back to Florence and if Eugenia's flat is available, this is where I want to stay again.
