Irene’s apartment was perfect for our stay in Florence. Steps from the Duomo and within a 5-10 minutes walk of nearly everything you want to see. Absolutely stunning view of the Duomo and nice and spacious. One note of caution: if you are travelling into Florence the day of check-in, leave yourself plenty of extra time before the 22:00 deadline for check-in. Irene does not live in Florence and uses a local to handle check-in. If you miss the cut-off, as we did, and Irene is not there, you must pay $20 euro per hour to the local who waits for you.
