Artan and Lisa's place was a good home base for seeing all the sights of Florence. We were greeted pretty quickly by a wonderful woman (so sorry I can't remember her name) who was very helpful and friendly. The home itself worked pretty well for us except the kitchen was really too small to be of much use. Ah well, such wonderful food in Florence! Especially Mercato Centrale, which is really close by! Gelato is right downstairs, and we had a wonderful breakfast everyday right across the street at La Menagere. In the apartment, the furniture was quite tired and there was a sewer smell in one of the bathrooms--probably could not be helped in an old building. Overall, the convenience of the location and the friendly hosts made this stay a good one!
