If you are traveling to Florence anytime soon, consider Claudia's apartment for your stay. The apartment itself is great. It is very clean, spacious, and nicely furnished. Perhaps what we loved best was the location. Nearly all of the famous landmarks are within walking distance and the wonderful Central Market is right on the next block, literally steps away. Claudia is a great host and easy to communicate with. She was very helpful with directions and parking. TIP: If you arrive by car, consider parking at the San Salvino lot and travel into the city by tram.
