Lara's place makes a great home base in Florence. It's a very close walk to the train station, that even our 3 year old was able to do pulling her mini luggage. The home was cozy and quaint but also nicely updated. Lara's was the only Airbnb of the 4 we stayed in Italy to provide amenities such as coffee, tea, paper towels, etc., and she even left a few Italian treats for us. The beds were comfortable and our toddler was able to sleep on the pull out couch (she also offered a crib if needed). The location makes it a little noisy at night being close to the action, but not a problem for us. We were a little confused by the number of bathrooms listed, so to clarify for others there are 2 toilets/sinks, but only one shower. The 5 of us were able to work with that just fine as long as we staggered shower times. Lara recommended good restaurants in the area and walking tips. Overall we were very happy that we choose Lara's place and recommend it for families and small groups!
