We were traveling with limited communication but Chiara met us exactly as planned outside the apartment. The apartment is spacious with ample accommodations for an evening meal in and to relax after a long day of visiting museums and sight seeing. We were a family of four and had plenty of space for our two children as well as space for the adults. Despite the close location to popular attractions and being on a street close to cafes and shops, the apartment is very quiet in the evening.

This is the best place for being near all of the major attractions. You are blocks to the Academy and the Duomo. It is only a short walk to the Plaza Vecchio with lots of fun places to eat and an easy visit to the Uffizi. Beyond that is a short walk to Ponte Vecchio and the Vasari Corridor. The longest walk is about 15 minutes south to the Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace. Lastly there is never a shortage of delicious gelato along any route!

Chiara is a fantastic host. She provided a space for us to leave our luggage on the day of our departure and arrange for a taxi to pick us up. We had a random rooftop visit from her charming cat.
