If you come to Florence there is no better place to stay in my opinion. The apartment is practically attached to the Duomo. The balcony of the penthouse was spectacular. We ate and drank and relaxed out there with an incredible view of the city. Florence is so incredibly busy with just a sea of people, yet the apartment was so quite, you can really escape. Cristina was so kind and helpful. In the apartment there is a folder that is the most comprehensive information packet I have ever seen in an AirBnB or in any hotel for that matter. It gives so much information on the sites, culture, art, customs, and gastronomy of Florance. It reflects Cristina's nature well. Highly, highly recommend.
