Silvia was an excellent host, and we absolutely loved staying at Le Rose Siberian! We arrived to a bottle of wine, and the kitchen was stocked with coffee & tea (and honestly probably more; we didn't check because we didn't cook). The apartment itself is the quintessential quaint historic Italian abode with tile floors, exposed beam ceilings, and windows designed to be opened, well decorated in a way that blends history with modern functionality and just feels like a very special home! The apartment is a relatively small space (though massive compared to a hotel room), and it is laid out very well to make the most of it - I think 3-4 people could stay there comfortably! It was also very clean and has a washer, which was handy! It's hard to imagine a better location - so much was within easy walking distance, and it was wonderful to be in a place where it was quiet enough to get good rest, but there were also shops and restaurants right below us. Silvia also had the place equipped with easy-to-understand directions (with photos) for how to use any appliances, as well as brochures on local attractions and restaurant recommendations. We definitely hope to come back and will certainly recommend Silvia's place to any friends traveling to Florence!
