We stayed at Elisabetta's flat a couple of weeks ago. From the very beginning, Elisabetta was easy to communicate with and was always prompt in her responses.

We arrived in Florence earlier than expected and Elisabetta accommodated our early check-in. Upon meeting her and her husband Claudio, we immediately felt very welcome. They showed us around their beautiful apartment, where we were surprised with wine, pasta, croissants and other treats. They also stocked the fridge with bottled water, which really came in handy throughout our stay. The pantry was stocked with what you need to make coffee and cook a meal. In fact, we ended up cooking a spaghetti dinner one night with the pasta and pasta sauce that Elisabetta left for us. There was a supermarket near the apartment, where we picked up some stuff for our meal.

The apartment itself was very spacious and clean. Throughout our 3 week vacation in Europe, it was definitely the best place we stayed. We really felt at home. The apartment had a washer, dishwasher and air conditioning, which worked perfectly. The wifi worked really well and was fast!

What really impressed me is how organize Elisabetta and her husband were. They had a binder with instructions and pictures on how to work all the appliances around the house. They even had pictures of what key to use for what door!

In terms of location, it was perfect! We walked everywhere, even to and from the train station. The Uffizi gallery and Ponte Vecchio is literally around the corner. Tons of shops and restaurants nearby. The Accademia is only a 15 minute walk. Although the apartment is located near Piazza Signoria, it was very quiet. We didn't hear any noises from outside.

I highly recommend staying at Elisabetta's flat. It has everything you need for a perfect stay. Not to mention, the hosts themselves, who are very gracious, thoughtful and seemed genuinely happy to receive you.

Thank you Elisabetta and Claudio for welcoming us to your home.
