Irene was an excellent host who provided an incredibly comfortable apartment to stay in during our family's visit to Florence. The air conditioning was a wonderful relief after long days spent walking and touring the city in the heat of July. The beds were very comfortable, decor was beautiful, and the space was a welcome change after traveling for several days with 10 other family members. Location was perfect for getting around to all the favorite tourist sites on foot. Irene and her mother were wonderful to give us helpful information about the city and were so friendly and warm. They made our girls, 14 and 8, feel welcome as well. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations and we hope to return again in the future.
