Tina is an absolute rock star. She was so responsive from the very beginning - even sent me travel recommendations before we even met. If you're looking for an authentic experience during your stay, look no further. Her rooftop terrace has a view to die for. She provides personal recommendations for what to do/eat/see in the city. She even numbered her own map with said recommendations along with a key of handwritten descriptions! Her kitchen is completely open to you to use as the guest and although I didn't cook I appreciated the gesture - it made the stay feel extra homey. She let me leave my stuff in her apartment while I made the most if my last day which was super thoughtful and much appreciated. Tina is a designer of her own beautiful clothing line - I recommend checking out her work as it is fabulous. I'm even taking home my very own jacket of her design! Where else can you say that? Thank you Tina for the warm welcome! When I am back in Florence I definitely will be staying with you again as long as you are renting out space.
