Laura's apartment was just perfect for a stay in Florence. It had fantastic character and felt like home, with everything we needed to be comfortable. Although winter time it was still lovely to step out on the balcony a few times a day to take in the wonderful view of the Duomo. It is quite spectacular at night. Laura was a great host greeting us and giving us a rundown of things to do and places to eat. She was also available throughout the stay if we needed help but that was not necessary, we didn't need to contact her again until she came to meet us on our departure. The apartment is walking distance to everything, even the train station, but if you can't or don't want to walk everywhere then there is a bus stop literally at her front door. We highly recommend a stay in Laura's apartment.
