Our stay in Florence (July 21 to July 27, 2013) with Stefania was very enjoyable. Her apartment was very spacious. She was more than accommodating with assisting us with arranging transportation. Her recommendations for the local restaurants were right on. We recommend David's, right down the street from the apartment. Also get to know the bus time table, bus 6B will take you into the center of town. Bus 10 will also take you into town, but you'll need to transfer to bus 1, 11, or 17. We would recommend her apartment to family and friends.
