Roberta and Stefano are wonderful hosts. I had to arrive a day late, and they were kind enough to oblige even though they don't live terribly close. I ended up having trouble with the wifi during my stay, and they showed up within hours with a new modem, and everything was up and running in no time. Then, to really go above and beyond, Roberta helped me to find a dentist in Florence the morning after I broke a tooth one late night, and I wasn't even in their apartment anymore! She also helped me find more information for an Italian language school to attend. 5-star hosts? Absolutely.

The apartment itself is fantastic. It's as beautiful and spacious as it appears in pictures and in the perfect location. Easy walking distance to anything you'd want to see in Florence, but not right in the middle, so during the high tourist season you can get away from the massive crowds. It's mere meters away from mini markets to get food and drinks when you don't want to go out, and a short walking distance to a larger super market (near the train station) if you really want to stock up in the kitchen. It's also just around the corner from two nice, large hotels, so if you need a taxi, you can grab one without needing to call in or find an actual taxi stand.

I can't recommend this apartment or these hosts enough. Thank you, Roberta and Stefano!
