Our stay was fantastic and the apartment was exactly as advertised. Our hosts were very helpful and lovely people. They gave us a recommendation for a local tour guide who was knowledgeable and friendly. We could walk to both sides of the river, major sights and the train station easily. Florence is very busy and crowded and there is always something to do or see. It was wonderful to come back to the apartment and relax after a long, hectic day. The courtyard insulates you from the sounds of the city so that you can enjoy a quiet night’s sleep.
