Lauro was very welcoming in our emails back and forth prior to traveling to Italy and staying at the flat. He was able to confirm the flat was easy to walk to from the central train station. There was someone there to greet us at the scheduled time, who was able to show us around and provide us with the keys and general information for a comfortable stay. This flat is a wonderful place to stay in Florence. It is within walking distance of all the interesting sites. It was comfortable and extremely clean. Not only is it close to the centre of town, close to the Duomo and some fantastic restaurants and cafes, but the central market for fresh groceries, is easily accessible if you want to stay in for a night and cook in the well equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.
