When we arrived Maurizio and Viola (Barbara's husband and daughter) were waiting for us.

They were very nice and showed us around the house and showed us how to use everything as well as locations of things in florence on a map.

They had a bottle of wine for us, which was a very nice gesture - but we don't drink - however we were impressed by the gesture.

The apartment is clean and the shower and AC are great.

The location was very central and the street we were on had multiple groceries and restaurants.

It was also very thoughtful of them to put adapters, sunblock, lotion, toothpaste, tea, coffee and biscuits.

Wifi was also great.

However, the walls are quiet thin and you can hear everything outside. It is a fairly quiet street, but it can get annoying when you are tired and trying to sleep. There is also a tiny window that can't be closed, so that also lets in sounds from the outside.

The bed was okay, but the pillows were too thin.

Overall, it was a good stay, we really enjoyed Florence, and would like to thank Barbara and her family for hosting us.
