This place is a gem and I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially for anyone who may be visiting Florence for the first time. Julia is such a lovely person and an amazing host. She connected with me right away, answered any questions I had, and was there to greet us upon our arrival. After a quick orientation of the apartment she gave us a list of recommendations for local restaurants and things to see and do during our stay. Julia made our time in Florence truly special. She went out of her way to get us a reservation at one of her favourite restaurants. Our meal, (which included the trio of soups, Florentine steak and ravioli with truffle sauce), was to die for! The apartment itself was very clean and comfortable with charming details combined with all of the modern amenities. We had everything we needed and found it ideal to use the smaller bedroom area as a walk-in closet. The location was perfect for us - close to the train station and within a 20 min walk to local attractions. At the end of a busy day we loved coming back to the apartment, sitting on the terrace and enjoying the beautiful views with a glass of wine. We feel lucky to have stumbled upon this place and would recommend it to anyone visiting Florence. Thank you Julia for an amazing experience!
