After traveling a month throughout France and Italy, arriving in Florence to this glorious apartment was a wonderful way to spend our last week. The place is immaculate, beautifully designed, and comfortable. Fabrizio communicated with me a week prior to our arrival, then again a few days before. He met us at the place to go over how to operate everything, and checked in during our stay to make sure we were doing ok. He even arranged a taxi to pick us up the morning we left for the airport. Truly an amazing host that took care of us and every detail.
The apartment itself is located in the heart of the city. Steps from Piazza Signoria, a block from the Arno and the Uffizi Gallery. You couldn’t ask for a more central location. The place is stocked with every conceivable need. The dishes, pots and pans, knives all in great condition. Fabrizio provides all detergents and soaps, plastic wrap, foil, oils and vinegars … everything to cook a nice little meal if you desire to.
I’d say the only word of caution is that the stairs leading up to the apartment (two flights of them) are steep and may be difficult for travelers who are not as mobile.
My husband and I travel extensively, often renting apartments abroad, and this place ranks at one of the nicest we’ve stayed at. It’s a 10!.
