Cristina is an incredibly gracious and thoughtful host who made my stay in Florence very special and memorable. Her hospitality and home really gave me the respite I needed after traveling two weeks prior and have to say her apartment is the most spacious, immaculate and relaxing out of all of the hotels and rooms I stayed in. It is a real gem with one of the highest balconies with nearly a 360 degree view right in the heart of Florence - a real treat especially when paired with a nice cocktail or coffee in the morning which she offers everyday! Her location is very ideal being blocks away from the train station and surrounded by markets. I recommend staying here as long as you can and make it a base for short day trips out to the surrounding towns. Cristina provides excellent directions and information on how to find the apartment and your way around Florence (and beyond) in general. She was very flexible with my changing schedule and attentive to my arrival to ensure no issues - a real necessity with how Airbnb works.
