Chiara met us upon arrival at the address. She really made us feel welcome as she walked us through the particulars of the condo and gave us tips on where to go, what to see and where to eat (very important in Florence). We were so glad to have her as our hostess! As a family of four with two teengage girls, her friendly welcome put them at ease in this city. The location was a walk away from all of the sites. We went to the Ufizi Art Gallery the night of our arrival and found it with no problem. The Duomo is very close by and the David even closer ( a few hundred meters each). We never needed a cab after we used one to get from the train station. My wife and loved enjoying a glass of wine at a simple table in the courtyard, secluded from the city that sits right outside the walls. The condo is a two story that fronts to a courtyard surrounded by other buildings. This allows you to have feeling of seclusion in a location downtown. There are peach trees over the wall that my daughter was scheming to get at and beautiful plants and trees in your space. On our way out we were able to walk to the Hertz to depart for other stops in Tuscany. We will definitely stay with Chiara again when we get back to beautiful Florence! This was a great place to from which to base our exploration of the city.
