Fredrica is a wonderful host. More than eager to provide insight on restaurants nightlife and other helpful tips to navigate the city. The location was fantastic. Close to the duomo but not too close that you are constantly hearing the noise of study abroad students and tourists. The actual apartment was big, shared bathroom was clean. The only issue I had was internet connectivity. Repeatedly could not get access to the router (however also struggled to connect at the coffee shop next door.. I was only able to connect at one restaurant which didn't have a password for the network--essentially 1/3 in florence)
