Cristina is a lovely person and a wonderful host who truly cares about her guests. Her apartment is charming with special touches like tiny pink crocheted roses on the bed linens. The bed itself is very comfortable, lots of hot water for showers, a well equipped kitchen (including a toaster and espresso pot), plus an excellent location right along the river in a quiet, safe neighborhood. When you've seen the magnificent David and crave a break from the throngs of tourists at the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, you'll be happy to come home to the other side of the Arno for a quiet dinner at the piazza and wonderful handmade gelato at Cremeria Boni, just around the corner from Cristina's apartment. Enjoy. Ciao!
