Laura's place is fantastic. First, the location. It is super close to the train station, to many grocery stores and restaurants, and to the Mercato Centrale. Eeverything is within walking distance! The neighbourhood is friendly and bustling but not too loud. Second, the apartment itself is super comfortable, specially with the ACs in the summer. It is equipped with everything you might need for your stay (including a fully functioning kitchen with dishwasher). Third, the hospitality! Laura was so quick to reply to all my emails and messages, and Silvia was super helpful in checking us in, telling us where to go for what, and patiently demonstrating the amenities in the house itself. There was also coffee (with an Italia cafétiere) and tea for us, along with some pastries; maps, books, and a working TV. Honestly, its a great place. If we are back in Florence, we will definitely stay here!
