We stayed at Barbara's apartment for 3 nights and it was a great stay, it is in a great location close to shops, restaurants and places like the boboli gardens and piazza michaelangelo, it is only a short walk to places in the centre such as the duomo. The apartment has a great feel to it with tall ceilings, great wall art and modern furniture. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a good size dining table. The living room has some great comfortable couches. It is quite a busy street but since the apartment is stretched back away from the street you don't hear it at all. You could hear upstairs when in the loft bedroom but it wasn't anything much. Barbara was an amazing host who was really understanding when we had to arrive later than first planned and showed us the apartment and gave plenty of suggestions for where to eat which we did try and they were great recommendations! She was also great to have a chat to before leaving the apartment to us with some wine, coffee and candy. Highly recommend walking up to piazza michaelangelo on a nice night! We recommend staying at Barbara's great apartment!
