Laura was so hospitable and her apartment was perfect for a week's stay in Florence. Walking distance to everything but well positioned away from heavy tourist crowds. We cooked on several occasions as the apartment had everything we needed, including the lovely balcony table. Building was safe and secure and Laura was attentive to any questions we had. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to call home while exploring the beauty of Florence, especially across the river in a great neighborhood.
