Mirta was an exceptional host. We arrived in Florence quite early, but Mirta was happy to let us into the apartment. We were greeted with a basket of breads and home made honey and olive oil as well as an overflowing fruit tray and a bottle of Brut! we were very spoilt to say the least. Mirta showed us around the beautiful apartment and explained how all the appliances worked and gave us great tourist tips. We could not have asked for a better reception and we enjoyed everything about our stay. The apartment was within walking distance to all the tourist sights which made for ease of travel. The train station is only about 20 minutes walk away also, the cobble stoned roads could hinder less able bodied, but the taxis are easy to find. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to eat in or out you are spoiled for choice. I really liked the fact that we could do a load of laundry in the apartment, very convenient! I would recommend this apartment to all travellers to Florence,
