Cristina was waiting for me when I arrived, she helped me with my bags, and quickly made me a fantastic Gin & Tonic while we went to the rooftop to view the city. She was so kind and helped me navigate the city with ease!

The bedroom was nice and clean and I had my own private bathroom. The street below is noisy in the morning but I sleep very sound, so it wasn't a bother to me. In fact, it's a nice way to wake up and be reminded that the city is alive and you need to get out of bed to enjoy it!

The location is perfect if you are arriving by train as it is a very short walk from the train station in Florence. There are a lot of stairs to the apartment so be aware if you have a large suitcase, because it is a climb (which i enjoyed for the exercise and especially the view!)

Cristina was an amazing host and has a warm heart! I hope to stay with her again the next time I visit Florence!
