My fiancé and I recently spent a week in the amazing city of Florence. On this trip to Florence we were there to do research for our upcoming wedding next June. My sister joined us as well and we decided to rent an apt where we could all stay together to discuss the day's events. Valeria's apt was perfect for us for several reasons. First, it's near the beautiful Santo Spirito area which is not directly in the city center so it is peaceful, yet a quick 10 min walk over the bridge and you're in the mix of the center. It is also convenient if you need to get anywhere by car. The city center has restrictions as to which vehicles can enter so staying just outside the center our wedding planner, who was driving us around to venues, had no problem doing pick-ups and drop-offs. If you're planning to do anything with a car you might want to consider this area. The apt itself was exactly as shown in the photos on-line. Very spacious and charming with a large living room and kitchen and the air conditioning worked very well as it was still hot during our visit so we were really happy about that. Valeria's nephew Edoardo was our contact on-site and he is very kind and helpful. Our check-in/check-out was flawless and he also helped us find markets and restaurants in the area and can help with ordering taxis if needed. We were very pleased and truly enjoyed our stay at Valeria's apt and would highly recommend it and we hope to stay again someday. Thank you Valeria & Edoardo! Regards, Taylor, Brian & Carolyn
