After a long day of traveling we were greeted warmly by Serena who made sure that she reviewed every important detail about her beautiful apartment before she left. It was exactly as described and the neighborhood was perfect, near the Duomo, the square and wonderful streets that were packed with one amazing store, restaurant and gelato shop after another. It was also only about a 10 minute walk to the train and bus station which we used many times. It's hard to list everything that we loved about this place. It was very spacious with comfortable beds,and updated appliances including a washer/dryer. It was also very neat and clean and the closets seemed brand new. To sum it up however is that we truly felt like Serena's apartment was our home for the week. It is a warm and inviting space and we found ourselves missing it when we travelled to Rome for 2 nights. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a terrific experience in beautiful Florence!
