I stayed in Cristina's apartment for one month. The apartment was spotlessly clean. Great hot water, wifi and washer and very quiet. I felt very safe in the apartment and in the neighborhood even late at night. The apartment is located away from the tourist area, but you can get to all the major areas with a ten to fifteen minute walk. There are many great restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to experience what it's like to to stay in an Italian community.
Cristina is very thoughtful and easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again when I come back to Florence.
