This was just a wonderful stay. Chiara was so nice to wait for us as we manuevered the streets of Firenze. Location was perfect as it was an easy walk to the train station. When we arrived on Monday, taking a cab was out of the question due to traffic. And on Friday there was a protest going on, so cabs were out again.
Chiara's place was easy walking distance from everything you want to do. And she gave so many good suggestions when we got there.
The pictures are very accurate, but the apartment seemed much bigger. Also what was nice - washcloths! That is rare in Europe. (But we bring our own.)
I can't imagine going back to Firenze without staying at Chiara's. And if you rent, you will be happy too.
(PS - get a Firenze card. You go to the front of the line and we even went to a few museums just because we could.)
