Cristina was a wonderful host. She was waiting for us in the apartment when we arrived by taxi, and immediately made us feel welcome. She thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with coffee, tea, milk and cookies. She even had a bottle of Chianti and glasses set out for us.
Cristina provides a thorough information binder with important numbers, restaurant and tourist information. She responded promptly when we texted her with additional questions.
The apartment is very clean and exactly as pictured on AirBNB. It's lovely and in a perfect location--just a few minutes walk from David, the Duomo, Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio . . . We found gluten-free menus at two restaurants just down the street.
Our family was quite comfortable in the apartment and the only regret is that we didn't have time to stay longer. We'd love to visit Florence again and stay in Cristina's apartment.
