Having never been to Florence, my husband and I relied on reviews before renting this apartment. The apartment more than lived up to the reviews. At the River Arno, beautiful sunsets from the bridge that was steps away, we found everything was within walking distance. That apartment had even the little things you miss when you travel (hair dryer, iron, American coffee pot!) Paola was lovely and she and Martina contacted us right after booking and Paola was always a text away if we needed anything. We will be back!
