Our 3-night stay in Florence came toward the end of our month in Italy. Linda’s apartment was by far our favorite lodging. The location is great, with all sites within walking distance. We walked from and to the train station (about a half-hour) but we could have taken a city bus. Linda provides everything one could need, including lots of staples that other places we stayed didn’t including coffee, tea, paper towels, a new sponge, dish towels, scissors, and a well-stocked kitchen, (although we didn’t cook during our stay). We never met Linda face-to-face but the keys were in a lock box allowing us flexible arrival time. She provided clear instructions and ideas for restaurants and places to visit. I mentioned that locking the front door was a bit tricky and she had it repaired the next day. The apartment is very homey, clean and comfortable. The bed is comfortable, the WiFi is fast, and the shower is great. She even provides body wash, hand soap and dish soap that is organic. Bravo!
