Barbara met us outside the train station to show us the apartment, which was even better than I had expected. The beautiful place included dishes and cookware which we were able to use to cook several meals during our stay. There was also coffee, tea, soaps and shampoo for the bathroom. It seemed as everything was well thought out, prepared, and made us feel thoroughly welcome. The location was also very convenient, only minutes from the train station and 20 minutes walking to all of the major attractions. I would definitely stay here during a future trip to Florence!
