My girlfriend and I had a great stay at Barbara’s place. The location is awesome, in Oltrarno, very close to Ponte alle Grazie, walking distance to all attractions in Florence. The area is safe and lively. The apartment looks as taken out of an interior design magazine. We are light sleepers, so we could not sleep in the bedroom because of the outside noise, but we had a very comfortable sleep in the living room. Barbara is an amazing host - we had an early check-in, she gave us local tips and was always quick to respond to our messages. We would definitely recommend this place to fellow travelers.
