Karin's flat was perfect for us! It's spacious, private, clean, and has everything you could need. We loved having a kitchen with all the essentials so we could visit the nearby marketplace and save on going out.
The location is ideal on the south side of the Arno, minutes walk from the nightlife of Piazza Santo Spirito, Giardino di Boboli, Natural History Museum, Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine, and so much more. Just two blocks from Archea Brewery, one of Florence's only breweries! As for the sites on the north side of the river, they are only a 15-20 walk. It's perfect! 30 minutes to the "out-of-the-way" Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato Al Monte (which you ought to visit if you are already going to the Piazzale).
Karin herself was also such a gracious, accommodating host and was a pleasure to meet and chat with. Thank you so so much, Karin!
