We have spent 4 days in Isabella's wonderful appartment.
We are a couple living in Switzerland.
Isabella's appartment is really beautiful, in an ancient florentine building and perfectly renovated. What we liked above all was the high ceilings and the exposed beams that you see all over the appartment, even in the bathroom!
Moreover we liked the terrace in the middle of the appartment that you can recah from every room (kitchen, living room and bedroom) and the little balcony of the bedroom. Allover it is a very warm and welcoming appartment which stands for its name: it is really "home from home", fact is, you do feel at home!
To make it even better, Isabella is a charming and very helpful person, who enjoys giving you tips and helping you around in Firenze. She even took the time and came with us to do a tour of her neignbourhood, showing us the restaurants and helping us to reserve etc. When we left we were short on time but even so Isabella insisted on offering us an "Italian coffee" which we sadly had to decline! She is so sweet and helpful.
The neignbourhood is perfect, 10 mn from all the beautiful things you want to see (Duomo, Uffizi, etc.) and therer are a lot of true Florentine restaurants around along with a very cool market.
The only thing you need to know is that coming by car the parkings in Florence are very expensive (20 to 30 € per day). You may want to park a bit further but then you will have to walk.. In general parking is quite an issue in Florence!
But still, I highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone. Thank you so much Isabella, hope to see you again!
