Cristina was a wonderful host during my recent stay in Florence. The apartment is in a quiet, very residential neighborhood in Florence, which was a great respite from the heavily-touristed yet nearby historical center of town. (The Duomo and other sites are just a short 10 - 15 minute bus ride away.) The back yard and front porch area were excellent places to enjoy the outdoors and relax after busy days of sightseeing. Cristina even had a stocked kitchen available to use, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this apartment, and I hope to come back again.
