Cristina picked us up from the Florence train terminal - the first of many thoughtful inclusions to our experience at her wonderful apartment. She left with us a lemon cake; the keys were in a mesh bag that also contained a lavender sachet. The home is decorated in a quaint and charming style that makes it very peaceful as a retreat. The kitchen, though small, is well equipped for simple cooking. While the tourist-y bars and shops are a little farther away, there is a Bistrot within walking distance that is incredible, peaceful, and beautiful. The whole stay was amazing and we are excited to stay with Cristina in the future.
