We loved Vera and staying here. She was so, so kind and the most wonderful host possible. Her apartment is a short walk from the train station, about 10 stroll and within walking distance of all the famous sites of Florence. She had two wonderful and friendly dogs that just want a good scratch, and the view from the balcony is beautiful. Our experience in Florence, with Vera and staying with her was exactly what we were looking for with Airbnb, a chance to mingle with the locals.
