Ubaldo made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived in Florence. He even picked me up at the airport! The apartment was exactly as described and is simply lovely. It is a true Tuscan home. Beautiful garden, well equipped kitchen with excellent stove, big refrigerator, great dishwasher and plenty of pots and pans. There is a laundry room with space to store luggage and an excellent washing machine. The shower is large and there is always plenty of hot water. The apartment is very safe, private, quiet and secure. One block to a huge grocery store and one block to a bus which tajes ten minutes to get to the historic center. It is a peaceful haven!
