We really enjoyed our stay at Chiara's home! She was very welcoming, gave us a rundown of all the attractions and best places to go and went out of her way to let us check in at a time that wasn't as convenient for her. The location is fantastic too! the Duomo is about 5 minutes away and most other attractions are 10-20 minutes by foot. The main train station is just under 20 minutes by foot or you can take a bus 3 stops. It is also very close to an area which is not touristy at all where the locals go which is nice as you can find better deals for food and clothes. The apartment is on the first floor (one up from ground floor).
Next time we are in the beautiful city if Florence we will definitely stay here again!
