This was a very lovely apartment in a perfect location in Florence. Laura was out of town during our stay but had both her niece and her mother there to help us ensure everything was taken care of. We did not listen to Laura's initial advice, and brought our rental car into Florence. The parking ended up being very difficult as well as driving in the city. We even got into a small car accident that would never have occurred in any other city where people drive more reasonably. It's a crazy stressful city to drive in! Like Laura recommends, don't rent a car anywhere near Florence City Center!
In spite of our bad decision making, her niece still helped us to find a reasonably priced parking garage that wasn't too far outside of the city center and our problem was taken care of quickly thanks to her advice.
The apartment was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for this type of accommodation in Florence. It was a very easy, pleasant experience. Thank you, Laura, and thanks to your niece and mother, as well!
