Lara’s place is as adorable as advertised. South of the tourism throngs and just steps from Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, the location is the perfect balance of quiet and a short walk from the most famous parts of Florence. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated. The directions to find it and for how to check in are easy to follow. Lara has a additional maps and suggestions for things to do. And she’s very kind and welcoming.
