Ester's apartment was absolutely perfect. A friend and I were doing a 5 stop tour of Italy by train and her home was our favourite we stayed in for sure. Ester met us, gave us everything we needed, really good recommendations for the best local prosecco and restaurants and bought us goodies to try when we arrived. We didn't spend a lot of time with Ester, but she was a lovey host, we felt so at ease and comfortable and calm around her, she made us laugh and was lovely to chat to. If we ever needed anything and she wasn't home she replied in moments. Nene her dog is the sweetest and calmest pup too. The location of her home might not be where typical tourists stay but I 100% recommend, the vibe of the area is really really lovely, central Florence lacked the sociable community energy that this area has in the evenings, we spent a lot of time in the warm evenings at the piazza a moment from her home, its close to some beautiful gardens, absolutely perfect. Her home decor is beautiful and stylish and with lovely colours. We loved everything and if we ever come back to Florence we will make sure to stay here. Made our trip to Italy! Couldn't recommend more highly. Thank you so much!
