Karen and Raffaele's place was the epitome of style; we felt we were living in a vogue shoot. The apartment is small but perfectly formed, with a wonderful balcony overlooking the florence rooftops. You're no more than 10 minutes walk from anything worth seeing in Florence.

My wife had broken her foot which made getting around tricky, Karen called in a favour arranged for us to use the garage of the hotel next door, which spared us a half hour walk to the car park. Little touches like a map with all their favourite restaurants and bars made the stay. We liked one of them so much that we went back two days in a row!

All in all this was a great flat owned by a great couple. We'll certainly book again if we return to florence.
