Lara’s place is lovely and in an excellent location within walking distance to all the major sites of Florence. There are also some great restaurants nearby and Lara provided a guide for the area which was helpful.
However I was quite frustrated by the check in/arrival process. My flight was delayed due to weather - I let Lara know as soon as I was notified but didnt hear back from her for many hours which was quite stressful as I didnt know how I would get into the flat. When I arrived I realised Lara had not told me how to get into the apartment or which number it was and it was only by luck that I found her housekeeper who let me in after wandering around the apartment complex for a while. I also was not given a key until the next morning, meaning I could not leave the apartment.
It was a lovely place to stay for a few nights however the check in process could be improved.
