Barbara's apartment was beautiful and the location was unbelievably convenient. We were a group of five (myself, wife and three kids), and the location made it easy to walk to all of the sights of Florence and return to the apartment mid-day for a break before heading back again for more exploration. Barbara was a gracious host... she met us at the apartment and thoroughly explained how everything worked, showed us the location of the grocery store, recommended restaurants, Laundromat, and the major sights. The listing was as described and pictures show an accurate representation of the apartment, which was decorated beautifully. We had a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone.
