Sonia was the perfect host. We had a very warm welcome from her and she made us feel at home as she told us all about the wonders of Florence. The outdoor space (courtyard) was a real bonus in a city. The apartment was everything we dreamed a Florence apartment to be with the lovely tall doors and high ceilings. It felt very homely and had everything we needed. It was ideally situated with only a short walk to most of the must-see places or a short bus ride (bus stop at the top of the road) for weary legs at the end of the day. Florence is not alone in having its fair share of mosquitoes, but Sonia made sure we were as protected as possible from the little visitors by providing sprays and even popped round to give us replacements.
