Irene is an exceptional host. She is so thoughtful and warm—it felt like visiting with family. The tips and suggestions she gave us made our brief stay in Florence one of our favorite stops. Her apartment is stylish, spacious, and clean. We arrived on a hot day and she greeted us with ice cold water and A/C. The neighborhood is fantastic, perfect for walking around and full of delicious food, lovely cafes and local shops. It’s a quick and easy walk across the river to the more touristy center of the city. We would recommend the apartment to anyone and we hope to stay here again in the future!
