Silva is a wobderful host, she gave her time to show us her apartment and the must-sees in Florence. Her home exceeded expectations. It was clean, had good linen, very well equipped and most comfortable. The Stella area is perfect for exploring Florence, direct access to Ponte Vecchio, Ufizzi Gallery, Pitti Palace and the Nuovo Duomo. So much to see. The shopping nearby is very good as are the cafes and Trattoria's. We would definitely visit again.
