We had an absolutely incredible stay at Chiara's place. It is a beautiful apartment in an absolutely ideal location- walking place from The Duomo and pretty much everywhere we wanted to visit. And although its right in the center of things, its behind a gate (which gives added security) in a small residential complex lined with trees and flowers. I can't say enough about the apartment itself, its beautifully decorated, seems brand new and had everything we could have asked for (Chiara even provided a baby crib for us). We had looked at surrounding hotels and the value for this place is unreal. We would have paid twice as much for 2 nice hotel rooms and this apartment was better than any 3-4 star European hotel room I have stayed in. Thanks again Chiara. If we are ever bag in Florence we will most certainly book again!
