Silvia’s apartment is very sweet. It’s small but worked well for our family of three. The neighborhood is lively with many shops, restaurants, etc but it’s not a tourist area. Silvia is an excellent host. Sh has put together a very detailed book, not only on the apartment itself, but also including a number of her favorite restaurants and gelaterias. Be aware that this is a 4th floor walk-up. We really enjoyed our Florence visit and would stay at ‘Le Rose Sibelline’ again.
