Chiara is an excellent host. She was very fast in responses to queries, and was very friendly from the first interaction.

She was flexible, and did everything she could to make me feel comfortable and to accommodate my arrival and departure schedule. She gave me a very friendly welcome, with several amenities provided.

The flat is beautiful, well-kept and comfortable, in the heart of a lively area. The street below is very active, and popular with young people, so the front room can be noisy at night, but with the bedroom door closed, it is quiet, as the bedroom faces into the court of surrounding buildings, and it is easy to have a restful sleep in the comfortable bed.

There is an iron, small board, clothes washer and airer, which is very convenient for someone who prefers to travel light. There is an electric stove hob and electric oven; perfect for cooking, and a microwave (if you like that sort of thing). There is a Conad market two streets away for groceries and several small stores for fresh produce and delicacies. But why cook, when you are surrounded by local restaurants, caffés and gelaterias?

If you are looking for the perfect little place to stay while you explore Florence, this is it - it is steps away from many museums, galleries, and churches, and in a lively area for nighttime activities.

If you are looking to stay in your room the entire visit, this may not be for you. But if you are an active traveler who wants to engage with the city they are visiting, this is perfect!
