Our host, Laura, made us feel very welcome on our first trip to Florence. She was there to meet us when we arrived, gave us many tips and recommendations about the city and even called us a cab when we were making a reluctant departure. It felt like she couldn't do enough for us to really make sure we got the most from our time, not only in the apartment, but in the city as well. The apartment is bright, clean and downstairs has plenty of space. The view of the Duomo from the terrace is amazing, so close you feel as if you can reach out and grab it! The area surrounding the apartment has everything you need, including a supermarket nearby, and the apartment is centrally located, allowing you to walk to most places of interest. Thank-you Laura for making our stay so enjoyable, hopefully to return again sometime in the near future.
