Barbara's place is a beautiful apartment close to the Ponte Vecchio, obviously styled with great care and attention. The location was clean and easy to find. Barbara herself was incredibly open and enthusiastic about sharing information about the local places of importance such as free parking and a local supermarket. Communication happened mostly in Italian except for the face-to-face meeting where she spoke English, which made checking in a little difficult at first. With a place so close to the city however we had a perfect base of operations for our tour through Florence.
