We loved our time at Laura's apartment! The apartment was mostly as advertised and was clean and comfortable. The building has a bit of an odd smell, but is nothing that is bothersome once in the apartment. The rooftop terrace is the icing on the cake and is a great feature in this charming Florence apartment. The bathroom is a little bit of a challenge, size-wise, but that's to be expected in most places in Europe. It's true, the apartment is a fourth-floor walk-up (75-ish steps from bottom to top...yes, I counted) which is great for your legs but a little bit daunting after a day of walking and a couple bottles of wine ;) The roof terrace is so wonderful during the day and at night - we enjoyed sitting and having a meal and a glass of wine. What's not to love about an authentic Italian rooftop terrace where you can take in the sights and sounds of Florence? And how cool is it to wake up to the bells of the nearby cathedrals coming through your bathroom window in the morning? So charming!
Laura could not have been more wonderful upon check in. She spent about half an hour with us detailing a map, explaining things that were not to be missed, and gave us tips on her favorite places and sites in Florence. You can tell she truly loves her city and takes so much pride and joy in guiding visitors during their stay. We used nearly all of her suggestions - I wish we'd had time to use all of them! Laura is so warm and friendly and made us instantly comfortable in her apartment; we were so glad we chose it!
We would definitely recommend Laura's apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and unique place to stay in Florence. Thank you again. Laura, for a memorable stay in Florence (which is now officially my favorite place I've visited in Europe!)
