Cristinas place was wonderful! Right next to the Duomo, about a 1 minute walk. There was a Bistro directly across the street, as well as a leather shop and souvenir shops. Very close to restaurants, both touristy and true Italian spots! Easy to walk to everything, about 10 minute walk to the gold bridge and replica of statue of David. Leather market was about a 7 minute walk. The apartment is on the 3rd floor (4 flights of stairs) in an old building but there is an elevator which was very convenient. Only one bedroom, the pull out couch had just a foam (~4inch) mattress topper on it. The pull out couch was still comfortable to sleep on. The bathroom had a working towel warmer. No bath soaps or shampoo/conditioner, only hand soap to wash your hands. The water pressure in the shower was amazing! There was a washer in the kitchen but no detergent to wash clothes. The heat worked well. Private terrace that looks right out to the Duomo and you can hear the church bells early in the morning. Cristina let us check in early so we did. It have to walk around with our luggage all day and quick to respond! She was a very friendly host! Overall, a nice apartment in a great location, I would definitely stay here again!
