Letizia is a perfect home-base for a visit to Florence. Located within a few minutes walking distance to the major sites, it is also convenient to a number of great restaurants and cafes off the beaten track. We were regretting not having more time in town to enjoy more of these places.

The apartment is airy and spacious with lovely vaulted ceilings. Such a great place to prop your feet up after hoofing all day, making a meal--there is a grocery nearby---and making plans for the next day. So comfortable. It is on the ground floor, but you won't feel unsafe, or in some dark cave as some ground floor apartments can feel.

And Tarcisio deserves kind words as well. Such a friendly guy, ready with recommendations---he lives a few blocks away-- he is such an asset.

Another thing about Letizia and Tarcisio: he built most of the wooden furniture in the apartment! Not your typical Ikea, b-n-b style, this gives Letizia a real, Tuscan feel. In fact, this and the adjacent apartments were formerly Tarcisio's wood shop. We were sorry that we didn't spend more time with him, to learn more about this.

Highly recommended---Letizia, and Tarcisio
