I can't say enough nice things about Uma & Tina's place. First off the hosts were very nice. She let us drop off our things and check in early while she was still cleaning from the last guest. The day before we checked out she left us some small thank you gifts--definitely an unexpected surprise. She provided some kitchen ingredients that made it easy for us to do some cooking while we were there. Second, the place was our favorite place we stayed in. It was in an old historic neighborhood. The layout of the apartment was unusual but fun to explore. The pictures are very accurate of the charm you will see. The hosts were very good at making the place comfortable for us and it was very clean. What was also nice was that they had very easy instructions for us all over the house to help with things in the kitchen, using the foldout couch, and the bathroom. Even though the place was not secluded, it was quiet and felt like a family friendly neighborhood but also walking distance into the heart of Florence and lots of great options for dining and shopping within a couple blocks. This was definitely our favorite place in our travels to Italy. I would highly recommend staying here!
