Vittoria was as kind and helpful in person as she was when we were emailing prior to our visit. She is a lovely person and really made us feel at home. She offered many suggestions on local restaurants, places to see, and things to do…and left reading material, maps and local stuff to do off the touristy path. Vittoria checked in on us daily via email to see if we needed anything and if we were doing ok. She went beyond to make us feel welcomed.
The apartment was AMAZING!! It was so close to everything we wanted to see and do. We had our 3 children with us (12, 9, & 8) and everything was within a very short walking distance (the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, etc). Literally, a street away from the Ponte del Vecchio! We didn't need any taxi's or a car…everything was so close. The only thing bad about the apartment was that we couldn't stay longer! It was so clean, with new appliances, the bathrooms and floors where immaculate, the bedrooms were perfect sizes,---I could go on forever about how awesome this place was ! It was very comfortable and spacious! Everything about the apartment had exceeded our expectations…the photos she has online does not do this place justice. It is so much prettier in person! If we visit Florence again, we would definitely stay at Vittoria's apartment ---it was absolutely perfect--- we would have loved to stay longer.
