We met Christiana who showed up in person to greet us in her apartment a short walk from Florence main train station. She is firstly a long-term resident of Florence, and a very kind and obliging host who shared so many invaluable tips on where to get the best of Florence's food (a highlight of our trip). Our room was very spacious with a bathroom (shared with only one other guest) and everything was kept at superb cleanliness daily. The great surprise was the daily breakfast, suffice to say they were the absolute best during our stay on Europe! The apartment is just next to the river across which you will find the city's non touristic charms. Her husband Marco was equally gracious despite his working schedule. A very artistic apartment in keeping with Florence tradition, and our most fulfilling visit in terms of capturing Florence's best local flavours. Grazie!
