Carla was a fantastic host, very organized and had lots of information for us on this area of Florence. Apartment was one of the best we've stayed in, very well equipped and very nicely finished. The Sant'Ambrogio neighborhood is great, out of the main tourist crush but with plenty to do. 10 or 15 min walking distance to the Duomo. Great little restaurants, local take out places and a nice market nearby in the mornings. We stayed here for two weeks and wouldn't hesitate to return! 5 min. walk to the best gelato in Florence "dei Medici" at piazza Beccaria.
