Finding Christina's accommodation was an absolute blessing!
I had the privacy I enjoy, own bathroom, room with truly a fantastic view, and also the resource of an experienced local, Christina, to point me in the right direction for a few suggestions that I otherwise may not have experienced..
Her sprawling apt is more like a house in size, very authentic in Florentine architecture with high ceilings and decorative stone floors, and you really get to feel like you might want to stay in Florence forever!
The house is very clean and welcoming, big plus!
And the LOCATION truly does not get any better for someone who plans to walk everywhere...i just loved being able to come home to this place of rest at the end of a long day of sightseeing.
Its practically down the street from the train station.

My room was very cute, light and airy, and spacious. Comfortable bed too. There were little details that i really appreciated like the bubble bath, and a hairdryer in the bathroom.

I was a little concerned when warned that there was a market (so cool) out side on the street everyday since im a light sleeper, but honestly this was never a problem, the apt is high up, i wore earplugs that were provided, and had some of the best sleep there ive had in months.

I really dont have anything to complain about. Christina is a fabulous, well travelled, thoughtful host and person, that is there if you need something, but never in your business. I look forward to one day visiting again, and I would definitely recommend this gem to all my friends.
Thanks Christina!
