Staying In Silvia's apartment was a great experience. It was very conveniently located to the city (a 5 min walk to the centre) within a lovely area across the river, with beautiful gardens on the hills behind. Upon arrival until my departure I felt very at home from home within the apartment and its unique cool modern design & style was a delight. The apartment was warm, bright, very clean and had everything I could have ever needed. Silvia herself was extremely helpful with very quick responses and helped me with any query I had. All in all my experience of Florence was wonderful and indeed Silvia's apartment and hospitality was a big part of this also. I highly recommend for your visit to Florence.
