We LOVED staying at Silvia's place, & we were so happy to meet her in person! So many thoughtful touches, like the giant bottle of water, the wine, the excellent maps & tour books, the restaurant & points-of-interest recommendations. The apartment didn't lack anything. I would recommend her place to anyone going to Florence. It's stylish, super clean, & in a great neighborhood--in the Oltrarno! It's very well located, away from the crowded tourist areas, but, within close walking distance to EVERYTHING--even the train station. You definitely can walk everywhere. Debby & Brian
