Irene was a wonderful host, and her apartment is perfectly located near SMN (for those travelling via train) as well as the attractions including the David. While we could not meet in-person, check-in could not have been made any easier with the provided instructions. She left a binder full of local tips, itineraries, restaurant recommendations -- all of which we found ourselves using while in Florence. A great personal touch! A powerful A/C, and a private washer in the apartment were both helpful in the heat of summer.
