Laura was a great host and her apartment is amazing. Laura was flexible with our arrival/departure time and had her friend Clara meet us at the apartment as she had a family event at the time of our arrival. Laura had a bottle of wine waiting to welcome us to Florence which was awesome to enjoy on the rooftop terrace after all those stairs :). The location is ideal and is walking distance to literally anything in Florence.

The apartment is on the top floor of a walk up, and could be a challenge if you are not good with stairs, especially if you have a lot of luggage. For anyone from New York or living in a walk up building, you won't have any issues.

The living room is huge, clean and gets good light. The kitchen is very nice, although we only used it for coffee. All necessary kitchen items were available to use and there was even some espresso for us to make.

The bedroom is on the second floor of the apt and is nice with plenty of space. The bathroom is small and the shower can be tough for guys since it is a little tight. We had no issues but it is certainly small.

The real amazing feeling is walking out onto the terrace. It has an amazing view and the pictures don't do it justice.

Overall, Laura's apartment is a perfect place for your Florence vacation. Don't miss out!
