Ulrika's apartment was the perfect place for me in Florence. It had all the amenities I needed plus the added perks of the balconies and laundry. It was very close to porta Romana so i could take all required buses from there if I needed. If not, it was only a 20 min walk to the city center and the walk was worth it every time. The oltrarano area was ideal for me rather than the downtown city center. The shops were much cooler and the food a lot better. Ulrika was very helpful and even was there for me when I was sick. Overall, such a perfect stay.
