We stayed in Rafaella's place for 3 days in November and loved it. A friend of the host's met us when we arrived and showed us around and had lots of recommendations of what to do and see in Florence. She also brought a map and showed us where everything was, which was very helpful. The apartment was clean and spacious and within walking distance to all of the site, Uffizi, Duomo and great restaurants. Would definitely stay here again the next time I am in Florence! Highly recommend.
