This flat is one of the nicest units I have seen in Florence. Pretty much everything has been upgraded. It was very clean and comfortable. Irene and her mother Barbra are fantastic hosts. They are definitely concerned about making your stay very enjoyable. It is located within walking distance of all of the major attractions and there are lots of shops and restaurants (and laundromat) very close by. I would definitely recommend Irene's apartment to anyone planning a stay in Florence.
