If you are looking for a place in Florence this is it! Honestly you don't need to look anywhere else. We stayed at two of Ilaria's apartments, which are only steps away from each other. The apartments, the hostess and the location are perfect! I looked at so many places and I am so happy that we stayed here. Ilaria is the perfect hostess. She is such a warm and friendly person. She helped us with places to eat and shop, and recommended a winery tour that was one of the highlights of our trip. She also arranged for our taxi to the airport. She was in contact with me many times, before we left on our trip, to answer any questions I had. Even before we arrived I knew the experience would be great.

The apartment is exactly as pictured... very spacious, lovely furniture, clean and comfortable, and while we didn't cook, the kitchen has everything you would need. Even though the air conditioning is only in the bedrooms, the whole apartment was cool (and it was in the 90s while we were there). The beds were very comfortable and having an extra half-bath and washing machine was great too. Also the apartment is in the BEST location you could ask for. It is right next to the Uffizi museum and the river. We would stop back at the apartment between activities to relax and cool off. It's also in a great location to walk around in the evenings....very near the Ponte Vecchio. You will definitely be happy you stayed here. We were!! Thank you Ilaria!!
