This apartment is a real treasure. It is situated in a nice residential area close to the river and a large park. However it is also very handy for the train station and all the main sites of Florence which are within easy walking distance. It is large and airy and comfortably accommodated the four of us with 2 large bedrooms, a dining room and separate lounge area. The kitchen was very well equipped (possibly could have done with an ice cream scoop!) with plenty of crockery and glassware. The oven was especially useful for the inevitable pizzas - not present in many other apartments. The shower was powerful and refreshing and a washing machine was a useful bonus. Federico was a genial and helpful host. He always replied to messages promptly and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. Little things like leaving us 2 bottles of water in the fridge and shower gel, shampoo, and washing gel were much appreciated. We really enjoyed Florence and particularly our stay in Federico's apartment. We would not hesitate to recommend it and we would love to stay here again when we return to Florence.
