I loved this apartment. The private garden was a wonderful oasis away from the busy streets of Florence. The apartment itself had a great layout and was furnished in an eclectic and comfortable style. It had everything we could possibly want, really, everything! I did not meet Elly as she was out of town over the weekend when I arrived. However, she made alternative arrangements, which worked out beautifully. Also, I had a minor problem, and Elly responded immediately and had someone there within a half hour. The location was off the beaten path from the major tourist area. It is located near Piazza del Carmine in Oltrarno, which has a very lively and local street life. We spent a great deal of time in the playground around the corner and in the Piazza, which had something fun and interesting every night and where we met locals and visitors alike. Elly, thank you so much for a terrific stay!
