We had a great time in Florence at the close of a long, busy “vacation". Flavia was very helpful. Even though she couldn’t be there when we arrived her kind mother was there to greet us and show us around the apartment. She let us in a little early when we arrived, and let us keep our luggage in the apartment on our departure day. Flavia’s place was clean, roomy and all around fantastic! It was close the train station, about a 15 minute walk. It is in a good, safe area close to everything, so we never took a train, bus or taxi. There is also a lot of information there at the apartment on the best sites to see in Florence.
