I really hate to be gushing but.... Susy was a truly excellent host. She was welcoming and so genuinely wanted us to have a great time. We were received with really thoughtful touches such as cakes and a bottle of local wine which was really welcome after the journey from London. The apartment was spotless and ideal for us (the photographs do not do it justice) and what a location! We were right in the middle of historic Florence just 1 minute from the Duomo; we could walk to everything that we wanted to see and had a wonderful time. San Marco and the work of Fra Angelico was our high point and was absolutely fascinating yet peaceful and away from the crowds at some of the more popular museums.
As our flight back to London wasn't until the evening, we had planned to leave our case and bags somewhere to save hauling them around and, once again, Susy came to our rescue by offering us a late check out and leaving our cases at the apartment. She was really, genuinely, excellent and really made our stay special. I could not recommend her or the apartment in Via Dei Servi highly enough.
