A lovely stay in a beautiful apartment. Elena was very welcoming, and made a great effort with her limited English - I only wish I was able to return the effort with my even more limited Italian! Alessandro was able to assist with any messages and was also very helpful, even though he was away for work at the time of our stay.
The location is good, very near Porta Romana and Boboli Gardens, and I found I much preferred this area to north of the river. It's located in a small courtyard off the main road, so it's quiet and peaceful for a city apartment - thank you again to Elena for coming to find us from the bus stop on the main road! The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us, with a lovely well stocked kitchen. The bedroom has a large double bed, seating area and iMac guests can use (handy for googling restaurants, directions , sights to see etc.). There is also an electric fan which was essential in the hot weather we stayed in (no air-con). The shower is good in the little bathroom.
The apartment is full of art and small touches that give it a lot of character and charm, and you might also have the chance to benefit from the wonderful piano playing of one of the neighbours!
Thank you again for the lovely welcome and stay!
