Christine and Lorenzo's flat was a beautiful and charming space in the best location at the center of everything. The front door is on a narrow little street surrounded by great restaurants and shopping, and directly across from a very old church/museum. Steps from the Duomo and a several minutes walk to San Lorenzo, the Arno and Ponte Vecchio, and everything else.
Christine was always very quick to respond with her messages. They had someone arrive immediately to check us in and give us all the information we needed. But the space was so well configured and the building, while nicely old and atmospheric, felt both easy to access and very safe.
And despite the area being so crowded with tourists, it never felt too loud in the apartment - windows are double paned and AC good enough to shut out the world and sleep.
I look forward to going back!
