Fantastic! Firstly, you're sleeping in a tower, how many places can you say that about? The history is all around you and the old wall of Firenze is at the end of the garden outside the window. The flat is to the back of the property so it's very quiet (even with roadworks closeby it was silent). Although the building is old, the flat is very modern and comfortable with all the amenities you'd need. The location is also great, the Oltrarno has an authentic and relaxed vibe but when you want to join the tourists, just cross the bridge.
What made my stay so special was Chiara who is the most wonderful host. She has the warmest personality, very smiley, happy and full of energy, a lovely person. Nothing seemed too much trouble and I was very grateful for her understanding and flexibility when my train was delayed on arrival and with the checkout.
I have been visiting Firenze for many years but this is the one I will come back to :-) Soon hopefully!
