What a wonderful stay. Chiara met us at the apartment when we arrived around 22:30 and was so welcoming and hospitable. She gave great recommendations for seeing Florence in the two full days we had, which we really appreciated because it helped us to avoid the crowds. She also recommended to us La Scaletta for dinner (which unfortunately was full, but I can attest that the view literally took my breath away. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time! Call the hotel to be certain it's the correct seating time and spot on the highest terrace.) The views and proximity to the Duomo were just as amazing as all the previous reviewers have said. Some of our favorite moments included when we opened up the window and sat gazing at the Duomo, listening to the church bells ringing starting at 0700 in the morning. We appreciated the cleanliness of the place, the nice touches like cotton bath robes, extra pillows, espresso maker, and bottle of wine waiting for us. Take care Chiara, and thank you for the all-around perfect stay!
