My family and I had the most wonderful time in Florence and Silvina's apartment was a major influence on that. We were in a perfect location, 10 minutes walking distance from all of the major tourist areas, but also from some of the more "off the beaten path" parts of Florence across the river in the Pitti area. We used the market around the corner as well as one of the two cafes within 2 minutes every day we were there.
The apartment was perfect for a family of four. The bedrooms were clean and Silvina left us a book with everything we needed to know about the house. She was a wonderful hostess; met us the day we got in with a bottle of wine and a welcoming smile. We got the lay of the land and a tour of the apartment before she left.
Silvina answered all of my questions before I got there in depth as well and I was appreciative of her compassion and genuine desire to help us love Florence. I would absolutely go back and stay here again.
