We had a wonderful 6-night stay in Valentina's apartment. The apartment was even better than how the pictures seemed and really exceeded our expectations.

We were a party of two girls and one boy, and it was more than spacious for all of us. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you would need - including a coffee machine!

Although the location was a little bit out of the city centre (about 40mins walk from S.M. Novella station), there are 3 buses available literally just outside the apartment which will get you there within 15mins. We walked down to the main town area everyday and got the bus back up and it really wasn't an issue at all. The area itself is very quaint - with an excellent pizzeria, coffee shop and pastry shop just on the street corner. The locals are also very friendly and helpful and didn't make us feel like aliens at all, even though we seemed to be the only tourists in the area.

Valentina was also an excellent host and always replied to our messages promptly with helpful information on the best way to get around Florence, etc.

Overall we would give this apartment 5 stars and would definitely return!
