Claudia was incredibly welcoming! The first thing she did was bust out a beer and show us on a map great places to go and restaurants to eat. The apartment is as it shows – two bedroom (hers and ours), one shared bathroom, a kitchen and a BEAUTIFUL balcony with a great view. Even though the space is tight, Claudia is amazing at making you feel as if you are alone (especially when you need it ... Naps). She is very respectful and aware. She was even kind enough to let us have a couple friends over for a few drinks before going out to see the sites (they were were also in Florence from out of town). The balcony is great for sitting and relaxing.

The location couldn't be better. It is close to everything ... 10 minute walk to the Duomo... 15 minute walk to the main train station... 10 minute walk to Plazza de Micheanglo... 5 minute walk to the Uffizi Gallery ... you get the picture.

She provided us with clean towels and blankets, and we were able to store our leftovers from the restaurants in her fridge.

Overall, we loved Claudia and loved our time at her place. She was very responsive and just a doll to be around :)
