Silvia was such an amazing and sweet host. As soon as we made the reservation, she sent us detailed instructions on how to get to her apartment and on how to enjoy Florence.
She was also very quick to respond to any questions we had before the trip.
Her instructions on how to get to the apartment were good. Although, make sure you stamp the bus ticket in the machine at the front when you first get on. You could get fined big if you don't, even if you bought the ticket.
When we got to her place, we welcomed us with a big smile! The apartment was nice and spacious with a powerful fan that kept my wife and I very comfortable at night and during day naps. The bathroom was small and fun! The toilet had the most interesting flush handle I'd ever seen.
The apartment is located about a 10-15 minute walk away from the city center, but the surrounding area is very quiet so it was a nice retreat after a long day. Silvia also provided us with 2 bicycles, which made the experience so much better. Florence is a cycling friendly city, so it was nice to get in with the locals.
We only had 2 days in Florence, but staying at Silvia's apartment made it so much easier to do so. Next time we come here, we will definitely stay here again.
