Myself, my husband, and our two children ( 7 and 10) had a lovely few days staying in Christina’s apartment. She gave us a warm welcome and offered good recommendations of where to eat and what to do. The apartment is situated directly on the Arno, and we decided to walk along the river to the centre of Florence every morning; a beautiful walk. There is also a very convenient tram service 5 minutes’ walk away. There is a large park directly opposite on the other side of the river which is great for picnics; it also has a massive market every Tuesday morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay; thank you Christina!
