What a phenomenal host Laura is! The local tips and advice were invaluable and it led us to have an experience in Florence that would be unmatched in a hotel. Laura's passion for her city and support of local business was inspiring. The apartment is beautiful and very central, allowing us to feel like locals ourselves for a short time! Little touches like shampoo, conditioner, straighteners , tea , coffee etc were all fantastic to have available to us. We all felt truly welcomed in Florence.
