I left part of my heart in Florence and cannot wait to return to explore more of this unbelievably beautiful city. There were several times during our three day stay where I teared up simply because of how overwhelming the beauty and history is - a lifetime probably isn't enough to discover and experience it all. Claudia is SO nice and hospitable and her place is perfectly located in a very authentic neighborhood away from all of the tourists, but within an easy 10 minute walk to the city center. We are so happy that we chose this neighborhood; there is so much to discover, literally at almost every corner in Florence there is something that will take your breath away. The food in this neighborhood is excellent too and Claudia had so many great recommendations. The apartment is so clean, comfortable and stylish, and has everything that you need, also so bright and sunny with pretty views and the beautiful sound of church bells ringing around you throughout the day. We could happily live forever in this apartment and in this neighborhood. It was also great to be able to do some laundry while were there. (One of the highlights for me on the trip was being able to hang our laundry outside the widow on a clothesline to dry!) On top of all of this, Claudia is very committed to the environment as a host (as are we in our life), so this was an added plus and we felt good supporting a host who is supporting our planet. Don't hesitate to book Claudia's place!
