Firenze is wonderful and Barbara's place is a prime location - just a block from our favorite restaurants and bars. A positive tip: I know other guests wrote about the noise issues at night (it's on a busy street!), but for us it wasn't an issue at all--especially with the AC on! :) The apartment and the bathroom is nice, and you can make coffee with an Italian coffee maker in the morning. The only challenge for us was that it was stressful arriving--we ran into issues getting to Florence from Tuscany by 5pm and weren't able to push back our arrival by an hour, and I felt like communication got a bit tense over WhatsApp. However when we arrived and met Barbara's colleague Franca - she was wonderful and friendly!
