Wow! What a gorgeous place. We loved Chiara's apartment which was like a home away from home. I couldn't believe how convenient the location was. It is very close to the main train station, to the amazing Mercale Market (is a must) and all the main sites. We walked everywhere even with two young children. Whilst is is well located and in the city, the apartment is so quiet and very well insulated from the outside noise. The apartment is so nicely decorated with everything you need plus the added bonus of some great books in English. Chiara is a wonderful host and always available when being contacted. We had an amazing time in Florence and staying at Chiara's place made it even better. The garden out the back is a rarity in any European city but gorgeous too. We are a family of four and were very comfortable at the apartment. Thanks again Chiara!
