Chiara’s apartment had everything I needed for my long-term stay! I loved it. The bed was fine for me and everything I needed I could find in the cupboards. You can be totally self-sufficient if you just look. The only thing I had to get used to is hearing the neighbors - if you are not accustomed to living in an apartment you will have to adjust to the noise, but this will be true no matter where you stay in Florence. I loved being just outside the city center because of the park (Piazza Francia). It’s cheap and easy to get around by bike or ATAF. Chiara was very kind, communicative, and responsive to my needs. She’s a real friend and excellent host!
