Laura's place is a lovely and cozy retreat. The apt. is an absolute delight with little whimsical touches everywhere. It is clean, incredibly accessorized and most importantly Laura provides all sorts of breakfast treats (including coffee, teas, milk, water, jams, nutella, cereals, etc.) as well as such essentials as rice and pasta! truly amazing. one feels immediately at home. In summer guests would also have use of the small private little terrace (we were here in January). the apt is centrally located and a respite from the hustle and bustle of Florence. It is also very quiet. There is a Vineria (or wine bar) next door run by a lovely couple. During our visit, one night the winery forgot to turn down the music in their back room, which is adjacent to the apt, but as soon as we mentioned the noise to Laura (and it was late at night) she immediately called and we never had a problem again, and the apt went back to being the oasis of restful silence it always is. when i went to meet the couple that runs the Vineria, they were super apologetic and kind. This is why Laura is a super host: she is super attentive and even when a small problem arises she takes care of it right away! thank you so much Laura for the lovely experience.
