We stayed at Barbara’s place for 4 nights and we loved it!! We loved being in the Oltrarno. It is away from the touristy areas and there are really cool restaurants and bars in the area (MAD being a bar two doors down that had really good cocktails!). We stayed over the weekend so there was a bit of outside noise but it was fine with the windows shut. The AC kept us cool at night which was great. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the bathroom was equipped with everything we needed. The apartment is on the 3rd floor which was hard with luggage but we got used to it by the end of our stay. Barbara was easy to reach and was prompt with responses. Chantal was in communication with us prior to us arriving and she was there on arrival. She was very helpful in helping us organizing day activities. All in all, this is a great apartment and in an even better location if you want a taste of local life. Florence was just beautiful and this apartment really added to our experience!! Thanks Barbara!
