I highly recommend Sandra's place. It wold be hard to find a better location in Florence, just around the corner from the main shopping street, Tornabuoni, but very quiet and away from the bustle of Florence. It's very central: minutes walk to the Ponte Vecchio and a short walk to the main sites. The apartment is beautiful, well furnished, air conditionied and accommodated the four of us comfortably in a main bedroom and in a pull out sofa bed in the living areas, which was very easy to turn into very comfortable bed (Sandra showed us how to do that). The kitchen is small but well equipped, perfectly adequate for our stay. Communication with Sandra was easy, prompt and friendly. Sandra herself is a lovely lady, who gave us a very warm welcome on arrival (we were earlier than the official check in time, but Sandra came to meet us and let is in nevertheless). She spent time with us to explain everything about the apartment and to give us many useful tips about our visit. Thank you Sandra. Ci vediamo.
