Barbara's apartment was the perfect place for our stay in Florence, and Barbara was the perfect host. We arranged to meet her at check-in time and she was already there when we arrived. She walked us through the apartment and showed us how to work everything. We also went up to the rooftop patio, which has a stunning view of the city and surrounding hills. We enjoyed the patio a few times during our stay. The apartment is very clean and modern, and had all the necessary amenities. It's located in a quiet neighborhood with a number of very good local restaurants, bars and coffee shops, and an easy 15-20 minute walk to the city center. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Florence.
