Stefania was a great host. She greeted my friends and I with cold drinks and snacks when we arrived. Her apartment is on a quiet block with cute shops and close to all necessary conveniences. It is 5 minutes from the Duomo. The apartment was comfortable and spacious for the me and my 2 friends. She even had a great list of recommended restaurants, pizzerias, wine bars, and gelati shops.
Her husband called us a cab to the train station, and they were even helpful when my friend left her souvenir in the cab on our way out of Florence. He tracked down the driver and agreed to ship the items back to her in the U.S. I recommend them whole-heartedly!
