1. Caterina is wonderful!! She met us, explained all about the apartment as if she had all the time in the world. Even though she doesn't speak english, we managed to communicate just fine.
2. The apartment is even better than the photos. Absolutely clean, absolutely huge, absolutely wonderful.
3. The beds are very comfortable. The linens very, very nice. The towels were nice as well as there is a dryer in the apartment so they were softer than most airbnb towels.
4. The location couldn't be more perfect. Literally one block from the Duomo. Since Florence is such an easy walking city, the location was perfect.
5. There is a grocery store nearby, a post office not too far, and, of course, tons of shopping everywhere.
6. Best gelato in Florence, Eduardo's, is right down the street (on the left hand side as you are approaching the Duomo).
7. I highly recommend staying at Caterina's place!
