I love staying at Raffaella’s house, it’s very close to city center. It’s about 8 minute walk to Piazza del Duomo. There are also a few tasty restaurants nearby, anywhere from 5 to 12 minutes walk. Supermarket is also about 1-2 minute walk. Raffaella and her husband gave me a great introduction about Florence and provided a local guides on where to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even ice cream shops. I tried some of the recommendations and they were all serving good food at reasonable prices. The house is exactly as described and pictured, very nice and clean, provided me with some coffee, biscuits and a bottle of wine, which is very thoughtful of them.
The apt is located on first floor, so for you that carry a lot of luggages, not to worry about carrying them up the stairs.
The apt is also double gated door so it’s very safe and it’s located in a safe neighbourhood, no loud bars or clubs next to it.
Communication is very good and easy with Raffaella, she responded quickly to all my inquiries.
Overall, it’s a very good experience for me and I would definitely recommend Raffaella’s place when going to Florence.
