Barbara's place was exactly what we needed for our few days in Florence. We booked last minute (same day!) and Barbara was so accommodating, meetings us at the apartment within hours of us booking it. She was friendly and warm and gave us great recommendations, even going out of her way to find restaurants with gluten free menus. The apartment itself is great - perfectly situated in a great neighborhood in walking distance to all the major landmarks. We definitely recommend it - we felt like it was a great deal for the price!
