Chiara's apartment is the perfect home base in Florence. It's cute, spacious and in a great area.
The location is fantastic, right by the train station, conference center, marketplace and tons of eateries, and pretty much everywhere else you'd want to go in the city is within a 5-15 min walk. Even though it is so central, it's still quiet at night so you can sleep okay. The bathroom is spacious and shower was great/has good water pressure.
She and Martina (who did our check in) were extremely helpful, organized and professional; they made our experience comfortable and easy. Communication and suggestions/answers to any questions we asked were fast and thorough, and I'd asked for a few things outside the box like advice on local hair stylists, a tailor, tours, etc. All of the recommendations were good and I felt we were in good hands. She provided a great info sheet full of tips and recommendations upon arrival, too. We truly feel we lucked out and had the best possible host! I would look to stay at any of Chiara's listings in future because of this experience.
