I am so glad my husband and I chose Raffaela's apartment during our stay in Florence. Everything is reachable by foot. Also, no need to climb stairs or take a lift, since she is right in the entrance of the building. Take my word for it, as I am currently expecting and am 5 months pregnant and needed to do all the walking to the sightseeing locations. Raffaela's hospitality surpassed our expectations, she gave us a brief overview of Florence, advised us of places to visit, check out to eat and more. There was water, snacks and wine waiting for us when we arrived. Raffaela was also kind enough to schedule a transfer for us during our departure as I couldn't manage the walk with luggage to the train station. We stayed in a few hotels during our stay in Italy and Raffaela's apartment even exceeded the other hotel's stay. The apartment is beautiful, has so much history and is clean. What you see in the pictures, is what you'll actually see personally. Thank you so much Raffaela! Should we visit Florence soon, we will contact you again! Truly happy with our stay.
