My wife and I had a most wonderful stay at Federica's flat. She was a caring and thoughtful host during our almost two month stay in Florence. Federica made sure we were well acquainted with the operation of all the appliances, and she provided us with lots of information about the area. It was reassuring to have her living so close to the flat in case there were any problems (there were none). We were well supplied with linens and kitchen ware, so all we needed to get were our groceries. The bedroom and bath were spacious for our needs. The kitchen and dining area was a bit smaller, but it met our needs nicely. With the building being relatively new, everything worked perfectly. The location of the flat was on the quieter side of the Arno, which we preferred both because it was quieter and more authentic than the tourist area. All services and supplies were convenient to the flat, and the cost of meals out was appreciably lower here. While we could not have been happier with the flat, the real "star of the show" was Federica and her family. They made us feel welcome and became our good neighbors during our stay. If you have a chance to stay here, you will be well rewarded.
