Our stay in Sofia's charming apartment was perfect. The neighborhood is a tranquil haven, but it's only a short walk to all the major glories of Florence. There are restaurants, bakeries and small grocery stores close by and, if you feel like cooking at home, a terrific daily farmer's market in the Piazza Santo Spirito (less than 5 minute walk). The kitchen/common area is light and airy. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The little washer works very well and our clothes dried well overnight on the rack despite the rainy weather. It was great to have the two small bathrooms for the three of us. Sofia and her mother (who was there to welcome us) took good care of us and quickly answered any questions that came up. In short, we loved this place and only hope we can come back again soon.
