We loved staying at Beth Ann's place in Florence! It's such a gorgeous place filled with beautiful artwork and antique furniture. The piano was a wonderful bonus for my boyfriend who is a musician. The apartment had everything we needed to prepare a few meals at home and to relax comfortably when we wanted to escape the crowded Florence streets. Everything is in walking distance -- from San Miniato al Monte to The Duomo, so we walked everywhere (and why wouldn't you if you're in a place as gorgeous as Florence!). There is a market right near the apartment where you can stock up on the essentials. The outside patio is beautiful, but as others have noted, bring some bug spray or citronella candles, as there are a few mosquitoes lingering. Don't let that deter you, though. This apartment added so much to our experience and we would happily return. Also, Claudio and Beth Ann were friendly and helpful, and Beth Ann was kind enough to arrange a taxi for us back to the airport. Thank you so much!
