La Contessina was a fantastic place to stay for 4 nights in Florence. A quick 6 minute walk from the Santa Maria Novella Train Station and surrounded by many bars, restaurants, shops and laundromats as well as a quick walk to the art of the Renaissance world. The apartment had plenty of space, the bed was comfy and it was safe, quiet and dark at night. Check in was easy and the hosts were very accommodating with all requests.
