Elisabetta was extremely kind and helpful while we were staying in Florence in her beautiful apartment. It was exactly as pictured and really clean, spacious, and just wonderful. We could hear the chiming of church bells and other pleasing sounds from the apartment windows but not a lot of street noise at all. We slept soundly after full days and evenings of walking around beautiful Florence. They gave us very easy instructions and directions to great restaurants and gelaterias in the area. When we had to have a taxi at 4:15am to the airport on our final morning there, Elisabetta assisted us the day before with the ordering of the taxi (since our Italian language skills were extremely limited). She and Claudia are gracious hosts and made our honeymoon stay a great one! Thank you Elisabetta and Claudia! -- Susan and Rebecca
