Chiara has created a wonderful apartment that only an architect or interior designer could pull off and we loved it. The apartment is more beautiful in person as the listing photos can’t do it enough justice. Chiara greeted us at the door upon check-in and showed us around the apartment. She also shared information about a few great restaurants in the area as well as helpful hints for exploring the city. She helped communicate with the taxis and made the calls for us, which was very helpful. Her office is in the same building and we felt safer knowing she was close by for assistance. The location is short walk from touristy areas, but still within walking distance to all the major sights of Florence. In a short two day trip from her location we walked to and completed all the sights and restaurants recommended by our friends that grew up in Florence. We highly recommend Chiara as a host and her place AND we hope to be back!
