We loved staying at Karin's place! What a great value this place is. It's about a 15 minute walk to most of the main attractions, but in a quiet area away from tourists. It was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and Karin had a ton of thoughtful touches around the place that were helpful. It was also a much larger apartment that we had thought from the pictures. Plus Karin was super friendly and responsive to any questions we had. We loved sitting out on the little balcony overlooking all the rooftops and taking in the sights and sounds of regular Florence life. Would absolutely come back!
