Excellent location and host. Federica made our short time in Florence wonderful. The apartment is literally steps away from Accademia and David. We stayed in Girasole with our children, 11 and 14. It was a little tight but the shared kitchen and bathroom (private but outside our room) were no problem at all. Every restaurant Federica recommended was great (don't miss apps at Za za, gelato at Ara and Perche no, and lunch at Ghianda), and the dinner offered by the neighbors served in the shared dining room was a great value. Try it! We will stay longer in Florence on our next trip to Italy. Grazie, Federica!
