Great little apartment very close to the center of Florence (~20-30 min walk or quick bus ride). Cristina met us right on time and had so much information about the city it made our stay so easy! Great communication too! She literally does all the research for you giving you hints on the best places to visit, eat, how to skip lines, etc. We also loved walking around le Cure (the neighborhood). Great shops, market, you name it! Dolci Pensieri is a fantastic local bakery and the street markets bursting with fresh produce are a must! The availability of garage parking was a huge bonus for us - we rented a car for 3 days and visited Lucca, hiked Cinque Terre and Siena. Recommend all three for fun city escapes.
