Katherine is a wonderful host. She gave us a tour of the apartment, answered all of our questions, and went out of her way to give us some great restaurant recommendations and explain how to get to some of the attractions we were interested in the city. The apartment is HUGE and beautiful, super clean and close to the center (15 minutes by train). A free gated parking is a big plus. If we ever come back to Florence, which we certainly will, we won't have a second thought about where to stay. All recommendations!
