Karin is a fantastic host. She has a lot of recourse available in the apartment about the city, tourism, places to eat, etc. The apartment is beautiful and in a really nice location. It is in walking distance from the big sights, about 10-20 min walk from the city centre, across the river. It’s a great location because it is close enough to get all the tourist destinations, but is away from the huge crowds. It’s located in the most authentic part of Florence, near a beautiful square where a lot of locals hang out with cafes, restaurants, markets, and nightlife.
