The apartment turned out to be perfect for my mother and me. It's perfectly located indeed: there are almost no tourist in that area and it's really tranquil around the house both at a daytime and night. All the given information about the apartment meets the reality. The terrace is splendid! The lift helped us a lot though it's just the second floor. As for the host, Grazia is so lovely (as well as her son who speaks English quite well)! She provided us with the map (a very helpful one) and showed us around the house as soon as we arrived. Whenever I needed her help (say, printing tickets for the Pitti Palace) she was always glad to do it! All in all, there was no problems neither with the apartment nor with the host. I'm very grateful to Grazia and Lorenzo for the fact that I fell in love with Florence and Italian language (I've already started studying it after my coming back home). Molte grazie e ci vediamo!
