We arrived early, before our agreed upon check in time. Their gardener was there and greeted us kindly and invited us to wait in the backyard while he called Lucia's husband, who hurried home to let us in.

The studio was absolutely adorable! Everything was new and nice and the kitchen was fully equipped. The bed is comfortable and air conditioning is great. They even left us a bottle of wine and sparkling water in the fridge, which was wonderful!

The studio is located about 20 minutes from the train station via bus. The bus stop is a 5 minute walk from the studio, and you don't have to change during the route, which was great! Although it's a little far out of town, the bus stop makes it convenient. We found it nice to get away from the city every evening and enjoyed the gorgeous, quiet, safe neighborhood.

All in all, can't say enough wonderful things about this apartment and host! We love Florence!
