Barbara's place is an excellent location to explore and enjoy the major sites of historic Florence. We were a family of 4; since we were only in the apartment for sleeping, it was not a problem that there is little space once the sofabed is open. The bathroom works well and the shower is terrific! We drove to the city and had no troupble with parking, but only used the car to get to Abazia San Miniato. Everything else was walking distance. Our hosts were very flexible with check-in and out! Highly recommend!
