Claudia was the perfect host! Prior to my arrival she was a great help in describing the best ways to get to her apartment. She greeted us so warmly and took the time to go through a map of Florence with us, marking some of her favorite spots in the city. She even let us borrow some of her scarves, as it ended up being a little chilly! So kind! As some described, the room is definitely small, but we spent most of our time exploring Florence so it was not a problem. The terrace was amazing and was a highlight of our stay! Claudia spent most of the weekend out of town, so we had her place to ourselves, but she checked in on us and made sure we were happy! The location was fantastic- easy to navigate with the landmark of Santa Croce right outside, and as most things in Florence, about a 20 minute walk from everything. The stairs were a hike but worth it to get to Claudia's place. Would love to stay with her again!
