My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Florence at Chiara's flat! It's beautifully decorated, with a very modern kitchen and bathroom (amazing shower head!), and is in a great central location. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go in Florence, including the major tourist sites. Its proximity to the train station was also super convenient for taking day trips around the region and for orienting ourselves on maps. Although it's located in a central touristy area it's set back from the road in a gated apartment community, so it's both very safe and very quiet. The elevator was really handy and a nice break from having to carry our suitcases up and down stairs. Chiara also gave us great information about things to see in Florence and offered to help arrange day tours if we wanted. The only tricky part was needing to take the trash out ourselves, but there are plenty of large dumpsters nearby and with some planning ahead it's easy to do after checkout.
