Cristina was a tremendous host! She met us at the train station and arranged for her husband to drive us to the place, which was especially nice since it was raining when we arrived. The apartment is modest, but that's exactly what we were expecting and it fulfilled our needs. Great location within walking distance to everything in Florence. On our first night, we had dinner/drinks at a small neighborhood bar named "Diorama," and we really enjoyed it; it felt like our neighborhood bar from back home, with better food and vibes than you'd expect for a place that likes like just a "hole in the wall" spot on a fairly quiet street. Overall, Cristina went above and beyond, and I'd recommend this place to any couple who wants a safe, convenient space. It's not extravagant, but it was very nice and just what we were looking for.
