Staying with Cristina comes highly recommended especially if like myself it's your first time visiting Firenze. She really made me feel comfortable in her home and in the neighborhood. She was so very kind to pick me up from the bus stop at the SMN station and to walk me over to her apartment 3 short blocks away. The apartment and the room I stayed in was very clean, functional and near all of the main attractions of this beautiful town. My bed itself was very comfortable, and as a 6 foot tall man, I fit in it just perfectly. Cristina made some excellent recommendations to local bars, restaurants, neighborhoods and markets that only a native could provide thus avoiding the many dreaded tourist traps. Her apartment also includes your own private bathroom down the hall which was very spacious and even elegant. The large bathtub made for a great way to relax after a full day of trekking around the town. Come stay with Cristina and make a wonderful new friend in a charming old city.
