A friend & I came to Florence for a work conference. The location of this apartment cannot be beat & makes the city easily walkable. Laura is a great host - she met us at the apt right after our plane landed & walked us through everything at the apartment & where the things we wanted to see were on a map. She was very responsive to emails/texts. There are a lot of stairs up to the apt, but it's a great place, fully equipped & a cozy stay for a couple people to share.
