Our stay at Barbara's place was perfect. Barbara was very communicative before our trip and she was there to greet us when we arrived at the apartment. The apartment was very clean and everything one could need was found in the kitchen, extra blankets in the guest area, and towels in the bathroom. The street is a little loud at night but Barbara provided earplugs which were perfect, and the sunroof blinds could be shut to make it extra dark- we slept very well! 10 min walk to most major sites, and very close to the train station. We had an excellent stay in Barbara's place and will return again if we ever come to Florence!
