Claudia's home was very cute and welcoming. It is central to the major attractions in Florence. It is only about a 15 min. walk to the Piazza Pitti and about 20 min. to the Ponte Vecchio. Claudia was a wonderful host, our flight got in very late and she stayed up to greet us at the apartment. She had all sorts of maps and good recommendations to make the best of our time in Florence. Would love to come back in the future!
