My mother has stayed at Loredana's and Stefano's place and these are her words:
Loredana and Stefano as hosts, and their apartment are among the best I have stayed in (and I travel already for many years worldwide!).
Upon arrival, Loredana and Stefano have both been waiting for me. Stefano helped me with the luggage and then they explained and showed in minute details a whole list of things to explore and do in Florence. A very warm couple who showed sincere interest in my stay in Florence. Upon checkout, Stefano again helped me with luggage and brought vin santo and cantuccini. A very unexpected and amazing touch! Overall, a very generous couple- the flat was full of all essential things and extras, such as wine and chocolate!
The apartment itself is very spacious, tastefully designed, clean, quiet and comfortable. Many beautiful albums and books, a lovely inner courtyard, has plenty of various amenities and is full of light - huge windows and lots of lamps.
The apartment is very conveniently located near Santa Croce, shops, supermarket, restaurants and cafes. All sights of Florence are so easy to reach!
I have stayed at Loredana's and Stefano's apartment for 2 weeks and want to come back- a real home away from home! Thank you very much for this amazing stay!
