Chiara's apartment in Florence was as lovely as the pictures depict it to be. I was warmly greeted by her upon my arrival, and given a tour of the apartment, along with any pertinent information I needed. Chiara also gave me a map of the area, and suggestions for nearby shopping & restaurants. I was having difficulty getting advance tickets for the Uffizi and Academia--she quickly got on her computer and booked the tickets for me & printed out the vouchers!
The apartment is in a convenient location to everything in Florence--I walked everywhere, and the major sights are within a 10 minute walk. Also, Chiara has stocked it with all the essentials, and greets you with a bottle of wine.
I had a wonderful stay in her apartment, and will definitely stay there again on return trips!
