Sonia was the best host,from the time we booked the apartment until we left Florence. She is very friendly, caring and responsive. She has a wonderful personality.She made sure we were comfortable at the apartment, made sure my mom was comfortable, showed us how everything worked in the apartment,suggested trattorias, explained the different bus routes we could take to our places of interest, showed us where supermarkets where located, she kept in touch via text , allowed to stay beyond the check out time which was very kind of her, called a cab for us, she gave us a bottle of wine and a cake and more importantly she was genuinely caring . She was like having a guardian angel and we are so thankful to Sonia for making our stay so pleasant we never felt it was a business it was like staying at a close friend's house.
The apartment is spacious the bus stops are steps away , 36, 37 and 12 take you to the train station. As Sonia indicated 12 takes you to San Miniato church what a wonderful experience that was! The apartment is like 15 minutes easy walk to Uffizy ,we walked late at night and it was safe. Piazza Torquato Tasso is a little park almost across, Carrefour express is across the piazza but we followed Sonia's advise and went to Penny supermarket as is is bigger, more variety and less expensive. Several trattorias close by around the piazza,the food was good and it was nice as there were mainly locals, which made the experience even better.The best equipped kitchen plenty of pots and pans to cook, microwave, large refrigerator. Apartment was very clean, AC was good, beds were comfortable, airy as you have access to the nice patio! The dog next door was friendly, Neighbors in the building were friendly , safe neighborhood. It was a blessing having Sonia as a host and even better in such a lovely apartment!!
