Cristina was an incredible host. She was very punctual and regularly suggested great local events and restaurants. The apartment is in the Oltrarno neighborhood, which we highly recommend. It is very residential and offers perfect immersion into Florentine culture (and all the major sights across the river are in easy walking distance). There were lots of local shops around the corner with the freshest ingredients, and we spent many lively nights a few blocks away at La Cite, Gesto, and Santo Spirito. And the apartment was great for cozy nights at home. The kitchen is well-appointed and the bedroom comfortable. The whole design of the place is also very appealing (we especially liked the small library). Don't miss it.
