Accommodation in Florence can be summed up in 3 words: STAY WITH LISA. Yes, the apartment is on the 4th floor but it's well worth the climb. Lisa helped us get our luggage up the stairs and showed wonderful hospitality to us throughout our stay with her. Her home is beautiful, our bed was comfortable and the view is as wonderful as the photo shows. Having a hair dryer and toiletries as well as beautifully presented towels was a bonus. Lisa was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting with her over breakfast, sharing ideas and opinions, and we really appreciated being supplied with a map and instructions on the best places to see. Thank you too, Lisa, for the calendar. It is a lovely memento of our too brief stay in Florence.
