Sophie's apartment is so lovely and located in an area that is close to the attractions but far from the crowds of tourists! We appreciated the nice kitchen and amenities, as well as the air con and the large space - quite unusual for Europe! Sophie's husband was so helpful upon check in and provided us with many recommendations for the area as well as a map and directions to orient us. They checked on us throughout our time in their place and we felt welcomed to Florence. We would definitely stay here again if we returned to Florence.
