We stayed at Christina's place during the 2nd leg of our European trip. We had booked 3 AirBnB stays for our entire trip and this was definitely the best out of the three. Christina is an amazing host! From the time we arrived, to the time we left, she was always available to help. Upon our arrival, she showed us where everything was in her apartment and how to use all the appliances, etc. She supplied us with bottled water, juice and brioche. The pantry also had some supplies/ingredients to cook pasta. She gave us a map of the area and pointed out some of her favorite restaurants, bars and gelaterias. Her apartment also has many books about Florence. Christina also helped us make restaurant reservations as well as order a cab for us the morning we departed.
The location itself is within 10-15 minute walking distance to the various historical sights. There's also a very lively piazza around the corner from her apt with several good restaurants. We ate at 3 restaurants there and all were very good. One other thing to mention, her apt is on the third floor and the steps are narrow...but after eating so much food, this was a good way to get our exercise! We would definitely stay here again!
Thank you Christina for your hospitality!
