I had a very comfortable stay @ Silvia's place! She was the friendliest person I encountered in all of Italy :) Very quick to respond & flexible w/ check-in. Her place is an excellent value & location! It's right in the center of Florence so it was convenient & I felt very safe. The bed was comfy & she had amenities such as tourist materials/maps, muffins for breakfast & nice rose-scented toiletries. I loved the vaulted ceilings in her place, the building is very historic. I had some excellent meals @ nearby Osteria Ganino (dinner) & All'Antico (lunch). Silvia even offered to hold my bags after check-out since I was doing a morning bike tour. I highly recommend this clean & comfortable apt. for your trip to Florence!
