Our stay at Chiara’s place was excellent. By far, the most comfortable bed we slept in on our trip. The location is central to everything. It’s 5 minutes to the train station, there’s a grocery store and lots of restaurants nearby. It’s a 20 minute walk from the shops and big attractions and a 5-8 minute walk from the big market. The building was very safe and so was the apartment. Great shower pressure too. Chiara warned us about mosquitoes in Florence so definitely use the plug-ins that she leaves you to keep them out (or shut the doors). Would recommend!
