Catherina was very helpful accommodating us almost 3 hours earlier than her regular check-in time. We had effective communication by email and texting. Catherina left us the detailed instructions all in written form and the map of Florence that came in handy. The apartment is very bright and perfectly ventilated thanks to the windows that face three different sides of the house. When you open all of them, the apartment is full of the Florentine air! There wasn’t an air conditioner in the apartment (as of June 19), but we were lucky with the weather and didn’t need it. We found everything comfortable and convenient for our 5 days stay. The neighborhood and location are wonderful. The best part was waking up in the morning and seeing the roofs of Florence right from your bed! :-) The internet connection is also very good comparing to other apartments we stayed in. We found a couple of supermarkets and Trattoria la Mangiatoia close to the apartment. There we could get some take away food and tasty pizzas. We’ll definitely try to stay at Catherina’s place again next time we’re in Florence! Thank you so much for your truly charming and cozy home in Florence, Catherina!
