We had a wonderful stay in Florence. Sandra's apartment was just as she described, close to the center of town and we could easily walk anywhere in 10-15 minutes or less. The apartment was comfortable. We did experience some noise from construction in the alley behind us, as well as some noise from the restaurant nearby. We used the mosquito repellent (plugs into wall outlet) to keep those bugs away. Sandra was very nice and explained everything to us when we arrived. Overall we had a very good stay at Sandra's apartment.
