I had a great stay at Lucilla's place in Florence. The studio is small, but not cramped, and has all of the necessary amenities you'd want. The first day I was there, it was 104 degrees outside and Lucilla's apartment was my safe haven. I barely even had to use the AC, but it was there if I needed it. Also, I felt safe as a solo female traveller. There were some other guests in the building that were a bit noisy, but that's just the luck of the draw. Nothing that earplugs (supplied by Lucilla) couldn't fix. Ultimately, as long as you're okay walking up a few flights of stairs, don't hesitate to book this apartment!
