We had a very short stay here at Chiara's (just to find a place with parking in Florence the night before our flight the next morning), but I was impressed with the amount of information that was ready at the apartment, including maps and restaurant recommendations. The apartment was a bit loud on the first floor (could hear neighbor's music that evening) and a bit dark (we arrived at night, though, and unfortunately did not get to check out the cute back deck/yard area). But it was extremely convenient having parking (although coordinating exact timing of meeting was a bit hairy as we were driving back from San Gimignano amidst traffic, which was somewhat stressful, and would have been able to figure it out if the garage key had just been left with clear instructions in the apartment). Nonetheless, Chiara's place is great, and I could see it being a good location to explore the city!
