We loved Gloria's place. It was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we could have needed. It is a bit of a walk from city center, but we used it as a way to burn off all the calories we has consumed in Florence! The apartment can be loud at times so if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. The street itself was rather quiet. All as to be expected in a large city. Gloria was gracious and communication a breeze. She provided resources for our stay and made herself easily available.
