My husband and I stayed at Claudia's apartment for three nights; we had a great stay. We didn't have the chance to meet her but a friend of her showed us the apartment and gave us useful information for our stay. As a welcome gift, Claudia left us pasta with sauce and a bottle of wine, she also provided good restaurants recommendations. The location of the apartment is great, close to many attractions such as the Accademia gallery, the Cathedral and Piazza de la Signoria; the area is safe and close to the train station, which was very convenient for us. The apartment is located in the third floor of an old building which does not have elevators, we did not have issues with it but it's something that some people may want to consider. The apartment is small but functional and is very well equipped, perfect for two people. Claudia is a great host, very easy to communicate with and very attentive.
