We had a wonderful time in Florence, and the apartment was easy and right in the middle of everything. Our host thought of everything and left great suggestions for food, places to visit and simple advice. She was very easy to communicate with and even called us a taxi on our last day and let us leave our bags a couple extra hours as the next travelers would be in later. The view from the balcony is exactly as pictured - amazing to sit outside and enjoy the ambience. The apartment is a good size for 2-3 people, though no more. Would recommend the place and even more so, our gracious hosts!
