This was the highlight of our stay in Florence (and even to our follow on trip to Bologna). Vasily and Irina are magnificent hosts - extras like fresh fruit, milk, nuts were so appreciated, and the Lavazza machine made for lovely lattes in the morning. The location couldn’t be more beautiful - walking distance to train station, markets, the Arno / Ponte Vecchio, lots of shopping and restaurants, and of course - right beside the Duomo! The apartment itself was a delight - a jewel box! And the bed was the most comfortable we’ve had anywhere in Europe - or North America for that matter. This was a stay to remember and totally worth our time. Can’t say thank you more sincerely to Vasily and Irina for making our Florence stay truly special. Grazie!!
