We spend 3 full days at Elizabetta’s . We did not meet her but her friend. We really liked our stay. The room was nice and clean, and the shower great. While It was hot during our stay, there was a breeze in the apartment with the windows opened. The kitchen and eating area were useful in the morning and evenings, so was the washing machine!

Location is excellent also, at a walking distance from all the touristic spots, but in a more quiet area away from the crowds. There is a fair amount of restaurants in the area, as bars and cafes. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood.

Internet was stable and efficient. The host wrote a few guidelines on the local restaurants and shops, and we went to take a coffee break in the university library next to the duomo because of her tip.

On the downside, nothing major that would ruin a vacation, but there could be some additions in kitchen accessories. For example, we looked for a tablecloth but failed to find any in the obvious potential drawers. Also, a set of wine glasses would have been good. We looked for them but did not find them (may be one glass). 50-100 euros of kitchen accessories would solve the issue. Anyway, it was not a big deal but it did surprised us a bit as we were in Tuscany.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. Communication with the owner’s friend was very good, the place was as advertised, and for the price, you have to be realistic. You can’t expect a premium villa, and we were fully satisfied. We came for Florence, not the room, and the apartment was enjoyable when we were there.
