The whole experience was lovely.
The room is a good size, up and away from the (sometimes busy) road below. It is a nicer room, in fact, than the picture suggests! The bed is comfortable, there is storage, a side-lamp, fan.
The apartment is small but it didn't feel cramped.
Both Alesia and her mother were so warm and welcoming, helpful and kind. Both enjoy a chat, if you want one, but leave you in peace if you don't. There is a lovely cat which lives there. You should know that the place does NOT smell (as some places do with indoor cats), so don't let that put you off.
The walk to the city is easy (30 mins). You either go along the river (beautiful) or if you choose back streets there are a range of cafes/restaurants which are a bit closer than the city itself.
Thank you for adding to my stay in beautiful Florence.
