Casa Guido is 100 times better than I expected and I already had very high hopes for this place. The decor is cute and modern and Lorella added countless little touches to make this apartment feel just like home. The location is unbelievable--seriously right in the middle of EVERYTHING. I didn't have to take a cab once the entire time we were in Florence. Her outdoor patio was incredible. I would sit outside every morning and drink coffee while listening to the beautiful church bells nearby. The apartment is so quiet, even for being in the middle of a very busy and bustling area-- probably because the apartment is on the 4th floor and the bed is actually in a loft area right above the main living area so its even higher up from the street. When entering and exiting the apartment there are 4 sets of locked doors that you have to pass through to get inside so we felt VERY safe. Lorella is also extremely responsive and sweet. If this apartment is available, don't think twice...BOOK IT! It is a great price, beautifully decorated and stocked with amenities, owned and operated by Lorella who is wonderful, and it is in the PERFECT location. I was actually sad to leave this place, but we will absolutely be returning one day. Thanks again for everything Lorella!
