Barbara is a super nice host. She proactively contacted us before we checked in and allowed us to check in earlier. She is super friendly, detailed and nice. Her apartment is stylish, extremely clean, and well equipped. It’s located very close to train station as well ( very 3-5 minute walk from the apartment and pretty safe in that area). One small downside is that the apartment is on the third floor without elevator and it would be a bit painful to move your luggage up to 3rd floor.
Overall, we had a great time staying in Barbara’s apartment, if you come to Florence, I would highly recommend you to stay at her place!
