Lara was literally the best host you can think of and made us feel welcome from the first moment! At check-in, she gave us a city map with her personal recommendations for restaurants and sights worth their price. That was really helpful and gave us the perfect start in Florence! We tried most of the suggested restaurants and were really satisfied with every one of them, so make sure you listen to Laras advice, you won´t be disappointed ;) In addition, she was really helpful when we asked about some shops and we had a really nice conversation one evening. The apartment itself is really central, you can walk easily to all interesting places in the city centre, nevertheless the public transport is also nearby. Inside her house, you have to take a lot of stairs, unfortunately there is no elevator, but Lara was really oblinging and helped me with the baggage. The apartment is beautiful, cosy and full of art pictures. Everything is clean and comfortable, we felt really at home. The shower may be very small, but that was no problem at all. This apartment and host are really outstanding and fully recommendable - Thank you Lara!
