We had a fabulous stay at Cristina's apartment! Location was great for our first time in Florence; near all major attractions and of course that view of the Duomo right outside your window! It was great coming "home" at night to that spectacular landmark and seeing it first thing every morning. Although it is in the thick of things, the apartment was extremely quiet and secure - once we closed our door, we were in a peaceful hideaway.

Cristina was quite welcoming and access to the apartment was easy. If you are going to cook, you will need to buy everything. We understand that even condiments are not permitted to be kept in the apartment, so be prepared to go the market for even a bit of oil or sugar, etc. It would have been nice to have some paper towels handy, as well. These are minor issues - you will love your time here.
