Sarah Daphne Baldassini, was a very good host. from the moment i booked the apartment she replied to my questions and she even drafted an itinerary for us.
The apartment was clean and very comfortable. Newly refurbished and tasteful. The size was perfect for our family of five.

In terms of location, the apartment was a comfortable 15walk from santa maria novella. For our kids, this was slightly too much especially for the 3 year old and we had to sometimes take a cab back.

We faced a few issues during our stay, which were unfortunate and circumstantial and i will not mention them because i do not think they will happen to other travelers. Sarah and her brother, tried to address all three cases and this i think it important when you book an apartment.

If one thing, i did not like very much , that was the neighborhood which was not unsafe but not to my particular liking either.

All in all, this was a good choice and a nice apartment.
