The very first plus on arrival in Firenze was the list of instructions on how to get to the flat. It was perfect, and took me no time at all to find.
Forget the 89 steps, and be prepared to be welcomed as a friend. The climb was well worth the effort and I didn't regret for one minute my choice of accommodation.
Cristina welcomed me with a full tour of the accommodation, where she had everything that the weary traveler could possibly wish for.
A full folder of information with suggestions was in the room.
After the tour, I was given a welcome drink and then my host even phoned up for me to make reservations for Uffizi and l'Acaddemia!
On top of that, Cristina took me on a walk all around the centre, so I knew where everything was. We even met up with one of her friends and enjoyed aperitvo together.
The room itself was spacious, with a comfortable bed and plenty of shelves and hanging space. The bathroom was also very spacious with toiletries provided. I was warned that the water pressure could be weak, but it was fine during my stay.
The bedroom overlooks the market, and while this might be a problem for some (it is noisy from early to late), Cristina had even provided earplugs in case I needed them.
The view from the room was amazing - right across to Campanile.
Big plus - everywhere is walkable, and there are many places to eat and drink.
I would certainly recommend this accommodation.
