First let me say that the pictures do not do the apartment justice. It is spacious, elegant, well equipped and exceptionally clean. It is located in the heart of everything in Florence. Less than a 10 minute walk to the Uffizi, Accademia, Gucci Museo, and steps from the Duomo and some of the best shopping in the world. Countless wonderful restaurants and groceries within a block as well. Our family of four was completely comfortable and Since we stayed a full week, I was able to maintain some normality by making breakfasts and keeping up with laundry. The apartment was enough like home that we were had some lazy mornings that allowed our two young children to rest from all our adventures. It is absolutely perfect for a family. We really did feel at home there. Cristina was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. We hope to visit again and I will suggest her to any of my friends and family traveling to the area. Grazie Cristina!!!
