We had a great stay at Barbara's apartment in central Florence. She was waiting outside the apartment to let us in and show us around. The apartment is well decorated throughout, with some lovely personal touches to make it feel like home. Barbara and her partner talked us through the map of Florence to help us get our bearings. The street was quite quiet but still very central - with a 5 to 10 minute walk to central landmarks and things-to-do. A great stay in a great place.
