Wonderful stay in the heart of Florence!! The location could not be more perfect, literally walking distance from every major site in Florence. We drove in (which is a little intense on the narrow, crowded streets of Florence) but did not use our car the rest of the time due to the phenomenal location. Annalisa was a wonderful host. Not only did she greet us at check in but drove with us to ensure we found the best parking garage-only a 2 minute walk from her house for 25 euro a day! Annalisa was easy to communicate with throughout the process and provided us with maps, restaurant recommendations and everything we needed to explore the city. This is truly the best way to enjoy Florence. The apartment is quite spacious and very clean with a Tuscan theme. There is a washer and dishwasher which is a luxury in Italy-at least from other places I've stayed. It's also nice that the home opens right to the street so no stairs for luggage. It is a little noisy early in the morning because it's in the middle of the city, but it's fun to hear the scooters zip by and wake up to walk just half a block to the most quaint street cafes for a cappuccino and croissant. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it! Annalisa is a superb host!
