Silvina’s place was great. It was spacious and in a good location. We walked everywhere. She met us at the apartment and gave good suggestions about places to eat and great gelato-only 2 short blocks away. It was a little noisy and you might want earplugs. Also it is quite a climb. It is on the 3rd floor which means 4 th in Italy. Don’t take lots of heavy luggage. We managed fine and rewarded ourselves with more gelato. Over all it was a great experience. We loved Florence
