Ivana is a lovely host who goes the extra mile to help me understand the history of Florence & her apartment. She was already very responsive in helping me planned my sightseeing and gave very good advices so that we had sufficient time to explore and appreciate Venice. We love the location and the newly renovated apartment with separated kitchenette & bedroom. The aircon helped a lot in the summer heatwaves. She was so kind to allow us sit in the kitchenette while she quickly finished off the last bit of cleaning as we arrived earlier than the check in time. It is a very easy walk from the main train station and near to bus stops for sightseeing. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. The place is a good base for day trip to Venice as well as Pisa & Cinque Terra. The historic town is just a 15 mins walk. There's a laundromat about 1 min walk from the apartment.
