This was a perfect place to stay in Florence. It felt like a home away from home. Irene & Alain were not there when we arrived, but Irene's father & sister, Francesca, were there to welcome us. They were so kind & welcoming! We had a problem connecting to the Internet, but they did everything to make sure we got connected. The apartment is so cute & very roomy--looks just like the photos. I would definitely recommend this place & would rent from them again. Perfect place near the old town & close to everything! My favorite part was the view from our windows & the courtyard of the Duomo. Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Irene & Alain!! Grazie Mille!
