Barbara welcomed us with a traditional Italian greeting, a kiss on both cheeks, which made us feel truly like her guests that she was hosting. The location of her place at Ponte Vecchio View is at the heart of the city, close to everything that you would want to pay a visit to in Florence. Very convenient, and within walking distance. Special thanks to her hospitality to show us around the apartment, and the introduction to the best local trattoria. We enjoyed our time in Florence a lot! With her providing the city maps and the restaurant business cards (at her place) was a huge help for us.
