Karen and Raffaele's flat was just what we were looking for during our stay in Florence. Everything was a 10-15 minute walk (pending you don't get lost which is easy in Florence haha) and was accessible to a lot of things - restaurant, bars, shopping, convenient stores etc. Both of them couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Upon our arrival, Raffaele met us and showed us the place and gave us a map that Karen created with all of their fave local spots - terrific extra touch. The flat had everything you'd need - full kitchen, appliances such as an iron (which we needed as we were in town for a wedding) and the decor of the whole place felt both homey and modern. The patio was just as cozy as its pictured. My boyfriend and I bought a bottle of wine and enjoyed it out there before dinner one night to relax after a day of lots of walking. If you're in Florence, I can't recommend a better place to stay and hosts that couldn't have been more terrific. Karen, Raffaele - thank you for letting me and Chris stay at your wonderful home! ❤️❤️
