I am highly recommending Chiara's place to anyone who is traveling to Florence with a vehicle. Our concern was where to park our vehicle in a safe area during our stay without having to walk a very long distance from our vehicle to the apartment because of our luggage. The free parking area on site was more than convenient. The apartment is very spacious and very clean, and the balcony a big plus. The heart of Florence is only at a 15-minute walk, but we took a bus to return after a very exhausted walking day.
