Although it was pouring rain when we arrived in Florence, Cristina greeted us with a broad smile and positive, friendly attitude. After a thorough tour of the space she gave us clear instructions on how to operate all of its amenities. She also provided a reference booklet of helpful information about the apartment and the city. Last, but not least, Cristina was quick to respond via text to our questions during the week.

The apartment is not only in a beautiful, historic building, but is perfectly situated for exploring many of the sites and neighborhoods of Florence. It was also well-equipped with clean kitchen tools and appliances, air-conditioning and comfortable beds. (Note that the showers are European-style which means smaller than standard American showers.) The terrace provides divine views of the Duomo’s cupola and is large enough to dine al-fresco!

We stayed with another couple and their teenage son, and there was plenty room and privacy for all! We would definitely stay in this apartment again when we head to Florence.

Grazie mille, Cristina and Rafaelli!
