Chiara's place is beautiful, clean and was a joy to go home to after exploring old Florence.
As this was our first time in Italy, knowing very little Italian, Chiara was awesome to deal with. She met us at the condo, showed us around and answered our many questions. She gave us tips on places to visit and where to get groceries, pizza and great gelato. She responded quickly to any questions we had and made us feel special.
All the photos are accurate: the dining area was perfect for laptop use and eating.
The bed was super comfortable which is important as my hubby is 6'5". The bathroom was clean, really nice with high ceilings and shower head. The air conditioning was really appreciated after spending all day out in the 30-degree + Celsius heat.
The condo was also amazingly quiet (when the windows were shut), considering how centrally located it is to all restaurants, main historic sites and people who party in the streets till 2 am.
Note:
I suggest you pack light (we couldn't as we were attending a wedding directly after) because her unit is on the 4th floor without an elevator so you will be hiking up 4 flights of stairs with suitcases.
Also, if you are coming from North America and want to have an early traditional 'eggs, toast and meat breakfast' there is a little place called 'The Diner' a couple blocks away that is open at 8 am. Most all other places don't open till after 9 or 9:30 am.
We would highly recommend Chiara's place to any of our friends.
Thanks for making our first trip a memorable one!
