Silvia's place is a perfect option in many ways for your stay in Florence. First is the location. It is literally just off the main square of Santa Croce on a quite side street. You can walk to all the main Florence attractions within 20mins and many within 10min. The apartment is up a flight of stairs (no elevator), has two bedrooms, a kitchen, large bathroom and a very large outside terrace which was lovely for dining out. Silvia communicated quickly and provided great information when requested. She greeted us upon arrival and provided us with local information and tips. She also provides groceries for a light breakfast (bread, yoguart, water, juice, butter, jam, cereal, milk) which was very much appreciated. She is a great hostess and you will not regret staying at her apartment during your Florence trip.
