We very much enjoyed our two week-stay in Babara's well-equipped and nicely decorated apartment. On arriving early on Easter morning it was a plesant gesture that Barbara's father Ennio's could welcome us already before standard check-in time. The location of the apartment on walking distance of all major sites in Florence and near Maria Novella train & bus station, is really perfect, especially if you also intend to visit surrounding towns as we did. We were very pleased with Barbara's tips, in particular her reference to the excellent restaurant opposite her apartment. We recommend staying in this nice apartment, provided that you, like us, don't mind a healthy daily stairs-workout.
