We had a fantastic time at Sara's place. It's in a great location within walking distance to all the great things to see, literally one street from the Pitti Piazza. It's the best side of the river to stay on, it's quite at night but still within walking distance. The piazza outside the apartment has a fantastic restraunt, great coffee shop and gelato shop. Staying at Sara's is like having a long lost relative in Florence who lets you stay in their home. Sara is lovely and really helpful. The only possible negative is you are sleeping on the fold out sofa, but we found it to be quite comfortable. Having a kitchen we were able to return home for lunch and have breakfast at home to save money. We would defiantly stay at Sara's again if we return to Florence.
