Greatest location ever!!
Florence is a Dream... being close enough to walk to everything that this beautiful city has to offer is amazing, and that’s exactly what you get in Barbara’s place!!
Literally we walked to EVERY spot to be seen in the city... 10 minutes to train station, 5 minutes to Piazza della Repubblica, 10 minutes to Santa María del Fiore... the longest trip was to Piazzale Michelangelo and took us, probably 25 minutes... AMAZING!!!!
There’s no coffee or food, but you have everything to prepare a meal if you bring/buy the ingredients. There’s no lift and the apartment is in the third floor of a very old building (with very small staircase) so, if you carry a lot of luggage get mentally ready hahaha.
The shower is small, but functional. The bed is not so comfortable, but it does the job hehe.
About Barbara, well, she’s a great host! She received us herself, gave us advices about the city, how to move, where to go, where to eat, everything!! And she was always aware of us (literally sent messages every day to check if we needed something, that’s really cool!!!) And of course, she answered everything that we ask (from the very beginning, through all our staying in her place... she gave us her number and we knew that we had a virtual guardian angel in her.
Thanks for everything Barbara!!!
