I have lived in Florence before and I visit every year since then. I must say that the location of Lisa’s place was by far the best as it is right in the center of Florence. It is a short walking distance to the Duomo, Mercato Centrale Firenze, the shopping district and the train station. There are also great restaurants and cafes in the San Lorenzo area. I was at a congress at the Hotel Grand Baglioni, which has by far the best view of the Duomo from its rooftop restaurant. This hotel is just around the corner from Lisa’s place. I love the fact that the room was very spacious with an en-suite bathroom and it was spotlessly clean. Lisa was such a lovely host and was very responsive from the day I booked her place. There was a kettle in the room for my morning coffee and she accommodated all my added requests very promptly without any hesitation. It was such a pleasure to have a chat with Lisa’s lovely aunt who is such a motherly figure as I walked through the corridor to my room and the lovely Brenda running to welcome you as you enter the door. I was extremely happy with this find, as it is truly a gem within the center of Florence. I will be back Lisa! xx
