This is easily one of the best travel/hospitality experiences that I have ever encountered in my years of travel.

Elisabetta and Claudia greeted us warmly upon arrival and gave us a comprehensive overview of must-sees in the city during our stay. They kindly answered our many questions about the best attractions to see both in and around the city and they took care to give us advice about what to avoid during the holiday traffic during our stay. They gave us a map, marked important spots for us, and recommended some excellent eats around the area.

We went out for a bit that night and came back to freshly baked homemade gingerbread cookies at our door with a note from them! Such a wonderful surprise. The ladies also let us play with their adorable cats. They truly they went above and beyond with providing us with help and being extremely attentive hosts.

The place itself is so pleasant to stay in - beautifully designed, clean, modern, and well equipped with everything that a traveling duo needs: plenty of space for two, temperature control, desk for work in the other room when one partner goes to sleep in the bedroom, lots of outlets, huge closets/storage, and ample lighting (both natural and electric). Not to mention there is a cute typewriter guestbook. There are also plenty of booklets/guides as well as a makeshift guidebook that Elisabetta and Claudia have put together for their guests (with printouts of maps/directions for each place).

Florence will always have a warm place in our heart thanks to Elisabetta and Claudia!
