I truly enjoyed my stay in Cinzia’s studio apartment. The location is perfect because it is very close to the main train station in Florence, Santa Maria Novella. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, which was important to me as my visit to Florence was to study for school. In general Florence is a very walkable city, so reaching the city center from the apartment is fairly easy and a nice walk. When I first made contact with Cinzia she showed great communication skills. She was willing to answer any question I had and within a timely manner. She was also very flexible and willing to work with accommodate me for the length of my stay. Before I left New York to travel to Europe for the first time, she sent me a detailed email about what to pack and what to expect upon my arrival, including the taxi cost from the airport. Since my arrival, she has ensured that she is available either in person and if not then she is always available by text. I fell in love with the apartment and have really been able to make it feel like home. It is perfect for 1-4 people and includes most necessary amenities. Cinzia is also very responsive if there are any issues with or questions about the apartment. I am also quite fortunate to have had her as my host. She has made me feel welcome, offered her assistance for any question I may have (even with my school work), and has shown me around town a few times. Cinzia is responsible, kind, caring, and really funny once you get to know her. I definitely would recommend Cinzia’s studio apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting Florence.
