Christina's apartment is a real gem. It is both spacious and comfortable. Although located on the south side of the Arno River it is easy to either walk or take the free rail shuttle into the city center. Christina is a fluent English speaker, and helped us get oriented and settled and was generous with her time.

The apartment is on the second floor, so it is up a flight of stairs. From the living room, you can look out to see the river, however, it is located on a busy street. Bedrooms are in the back, so road sounds were not a problem for us. There are inexpensive places to eat nearby, and the kitchen is well equipped if you plan to eat in. We were very happy there! It was an excellent place to launch our three-day visit to Florence.
