We had an excellent experience staying in Angela's flat in the heart of Firenze. Her place is a short walk from the train station, and convenient to all major attractions. Angela took time to give us the lay of the land when we arrived, and gave us several restaurant recommendations. Most appreciated were her recommendations for special, off the beaten track things to do - a special tour at Orsanmichele, a free concert at the D'oumo - we felt more like guests to the city rather than typical tourists. One last perk re: Angela - she is an amazing artist and her art lines the walls of her flat. The ambiance is welcoming and inspiring.
