We loved the location of Fiora's apartment and it's so nice to have her nearby. She was very flexible about our arrival time. She greeted us in person to show us around and gave us delicious treats from her hometown in Siena. She gave us wonderful recommendations for gelato and delicious restaurants nearby. Florence is such a walkable city. It's great to be so close to the Duomo, yet on a quiet street. We had rolling bags and were able to easily walk from the train station to Fiora's place. The apartment is quite spacious. My husband and I stayed with our three kids (ages 22, 19 and 16). They had a room and so did we and it was great to have two bathrooms. Fiora provided thoughtful amenities, like coffee, laundry detergent and guidebooks. We arrived on the eve of a busy holiday for Fiora and her family, but she kindly carved out time for us. We had been traveling for about 10 days. After so many meals out, it was fun to go to the well-stocked grocery store around the corner and cook a meal or two for ourselves. The kitchen is sparkling clean, well outfitted and easy to use. I'd love to return and stay with Fiora again. Grazie Mille.
