I was welcomed to this lovely appartment by Lysiane's son Sébastien. The place was exactly what I expected from the photos and was perfect for all my needs. Being so central, I couldn't have picked a better place to stay and it was very comfortable. Traveling alone, I certainly felt safe in the neighborhood regardless of the time of day. The street can get a bit noisy from time to time, but the sound proof windows muffled any street noise considerably, and was not an issue. You could also hear the people in the surrounding appartments, but thankfully, we all kept the same hours, so sleep was never disturbed.
The appartment was very clean and provided for all your basic needs, including laundry detergent which was very much appreciated. They also provided maps and lots of good general information about the area; it was well set up.
Whilst not intrusive, the family were certainly available to assist in anyway and helped out with some interpreting issues I had.
I would certainly recommend this place for it's cleanliness and location. Thanks Lysiane, you enhanced my stay in Florence immensely.
