We had a wonderful time in Florence in this lovely apartment. Our hostess responded to our past mute inquiry and ensured we had a smooth check-in, plenty of personal recommendations for great restaurants, shopping and wandering around. The apartment was spacious, private, clean and comfortable. The neighborhood, despite some street construction occurring during our stay, was off the main tourist path and mainly included local residents. The local coffee shop, run by a kindly wife and husband team, provided us with great opportunities to practice our basic Italian and blend in with regulars. Walkable to main sights as well as non-tourist locations.
