What a wonderful way to experience Florence for the first time! I was in the heart of it and even so the apartment is very quiet. Azadeh met me with a warm smile and took me up to the apartment. She went through everything in detail and then gave me a list of tips and suggestions and answered all my questions. More than this she was available throughout my stay and responded very quickly to any questions I had which were not about the apartment but about Florence! The apartment is neat and compact, spotlessly clean and ideally situated. Azadeh was a wonderful host and went out of her way to help me when I realised after leaving Florence that I had forgotten to collect something at a store. This was completely above and beyond her role as a host and she was extremely gracious in assisting me. Thank you Azadeh! I have no words for this overwhelmingly beautiful city and hope to return to Alessandro and Azadeh's place. Highly recommended!
