Laura is an EXCELLENT host and we really enjoyed staying at her house. The flat is a 5-10 minute walk to the Duomo (where the Florence cathedral is). It is walking distance to most of the tourist spots and is also close to many shops and cafes. Laura gave us a tour of the house and all the amenities. She provided us with guides and maps to the city. The bathroom was fully stocked with toilet paper, soaps, shower gel, shampoo, hair dryer and even toothpaste. She also provided us with lots of towels, sheets and blankets. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with cookies, cupcakes, bread, eggs, cheese, salami, coffee, tea, sugar etc. There were plenty of dishes and other kitchen utensils for us to use (including kitchen towels). She provided us with so much fresh fruit that we hadnt't finished them by the time we left!
The house itself is a beautiful two bedroom/living room/kitchen area with an attached balcony. It is very spacious, bright and airy. And I cannot compliment the level of cleanliness enough! The bathroom was spotless, the floors were gleaming and the bedsheets were crispy clean! The house is on the first floor with no elevator. But it was an easy climb even with luggage and a small baby. Laura helped us with that too. Another good thing is that she lives right next door, and was available to answer all our questions for us.
Overall, we were very comfortable and loved staying here. We would strongly recommend this flat to other travellers.
