This was a "splurge" stay for us since we're usually budget travellers, but I'm really glad we made the decision to spend the night here! Her property was a short 10 min walk from the Santa Maria Novella station (with luggage in tow). As others have mentioned, Lavinia is a very kind, helpful and responsive host that made sure we had a great time while at her wonderfully appointed apartment. Every detail was carefully thought out to ensure maximum comfort of the guests (labels on everything and her 'guidebook' covered so much information and countless small touches throughout the property that were just a cherry on top) and I wish we had more time to stay just to read all the books and appreciate the artwork! One thing to note is to bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper since the room facing the street will have some noise from traffic. Also the toilets may feel awkward for sensitive people since the doors are literally right next to you and are translucent (but not visible from outside).
