We had a lovely time in Chiara's appartment. The location is great, very close to the station, the duomo, and a supermarket. More importantly, although it is located in a bustling area of Florence, the moment you turn into this little side street things quiet down, and the appartment is incredible peaceful, with only the Zen-sound of the gurgling fountain of the downstairs neighbours garden (and only when you open the windows). Our pre-schooler very much enjoyed forcing us to "read" the many Italian children's books, and we enjoyed the soft sheets, well-equiped kitchen, and lovely decoration. This is Florence and there are mosquitos, so be prepared, this goes for both in- and outside. We were there at the end of September, in a bit of a heatwave, but did not need to turn on any of the fans. Chiara was lovely, highly communicative and flexible. All in all this appartment was a wonderful little oasis to explore Florence and surroundings from.
