Cristina was a lovely host and has a very nice home. It is especially perfect if you're an active traveler who doesn't plan on spending a lot of time in your room. When you arrive Christina gives you a binder full of maps and suggestions of what to do during your stay in Florence - it's very helpful! And her apartment is spacious, welcoming, and clean. Centrally located, everywhere you would want to go in Florence is a short walk away.

As stated in her listing, there is no elevator and a LOT of steps. Be prepared to work your glutes. The steps have a payoff as your room has a very beautiful view. And there is a lot of street noise, but ear plugs work just fine. There isn't central air, so be cognizant of the weather if you're sensitive to being overheated. I didn't have a problem with the room temperature in early June. I would highly suggest this apartment to anyone.
