The flat was as charming as the pictures were and Barbara's place was stocked with everything you could imagine. If you are a chronic forgetful packer like me, you won't have to worry about a thing, because Barbara & Maurizio thought of and provided for everything you might need... Rain ponchos, Florence maps, hats, sunblock, etc. Barbara and Maurizio were kind, gracious hosts that were very patient w/ our check-in time and were very responsive with communication. We appreciated everything they did to make our stay in Firenze memorable and relaxing. I would definitely suggest staying here! It's very close to the train station as well, so that's also a big plus!
