We stayed at Barbara’s place for the days we were in Florence. I was nervous because this was our first time in Italy. But Barbara made it super easy for us to to feel comfortable and even suggested some top areas that we most visit while in Florence. Best little gelato and sweet stop to the left of the apartment. Plenty of options for food. This place was awesome! Everything is within walking distance. We packed LARGE 32kg bags and it was challenging bringing them up the stairs but even Barbara helped. Definitely 10/10.
