Laura's apartment is in a great location to see Florence. Within walking distance to the market, the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio but really close to the Duomo and the Galleria Academica. Lots of eateries close by and you always feel safe in Florence...such a beautiful city. Laura's place is a cool space...comfortable bed, great shower and a nice little kitchen. As a bonus, you even have a small outdoor space to sit out should you want. There is a good sized TV but only one or two english channels but one thing she may want to change is the small couch which is not very comfortable...lol. The kitchen has an excellent coffee maker and is pretty well equipped for your needs but it is lacking in big wine glasses and mixing bowls, which we would have liked to scramble some eggs in the morning. But they are small things which could be overlooked. One thing that could have been improved is the air conditioning. To be honest, it was very hot when we were there( mid September) but the AC unit never dipped below 20...even though we tried to get it down to 17 while we slept. Laura also wanted us to turn off the unit when we went out...which we did.. but if the override was not on, we could have cooled off the space a lot quicker when we returned home. And, when walking around for most of the day in 32 and 33 degree heat...this would have been appreciated. Overall, I will go back to Laura's space as I loved the location for visiting the sites and for the wine bar next door which was a very cool spot run by friends of Laura's. Plus, Laura is a really nice person cab for early in the morning we left.
