This place here is amazing! Definitely recommending it to anyone visiting Florence! Pre-arrival - If you have stayed at a 5 star luxury hotel, you would usually find a booklet or file in the study table about the hotel information, location, dining, etc. Well, just like a hotel, the host, Yawa, provided me with a welcome booklet 2 weeks prior to my arrival! It's actually a link where enclosed is all you will ever need to know about the location, Neighbourhood, dining options, tour options, landmarks, museums, etc (including operating hours, general information and websites). Yes! Down to every detail. Arrival - Yawa was in constant contact with me pre-arrival and she knew what time I was coming and whom I was coming with. She was very kind to provide details on how to get to the apartment. We had arrived with her waiting by the building door with her adorable Daughter! Trust me, being my first time in Florence, it's really good to always have someone be ready to wait on your arrival. Apartment building - The apartment is on the second floor, and there aren't any elevators. So for those with luggages, please don't be alarmed, the host was very kind to offer her help upon my arrival. And it's only a few steps! Apartment - As soon as I entered the apartment, I could tell that it was very well kept. Aside from it being newly refurbished, the floors, ceiling, tiles and doors were all dust free. I don't wear shoes at home so the moment I took my shoes off at the apartment, I knew it was gonna be clean when I heard my feet "squeaked" against the clean mopped floors! The kitchen is fully equipped (stove, oven, microwave, fridge, etc). So one who cooks a lot, such as myself, would utilise the kitchen completely and would appreciate clean utensils, cookery and cutlery. Not one water stain was found! And her stove was so clean! There are a total of 2 bathrooms. So the moment I entered, I could smell the chlorine! Okay, I'm sure you can tell I'm such a clean freak, but honestly people, wouldn't you appreciate a clean toilet! Basin, bathtub and toilet bowl looked like it was never used! Lastly, the beds! Queen sized beds, clean pillows, clean sheets clean blankets! All felt like new. If you are particular about where you sleep and shower and don't like to worry about if the last person who used the pans washed it thoroughly, you would really appreciate this apartment! Location- Right next to the building door, there' a small convenience shop where you can buy essential groceries or toiletries (not that you need to, the apartment has everything you need). There are restaurants and cafes along all the streets leading towards the apartment building. The shopping area is about 10 minutes walk and the train station is about 15 minutes walk. If you are keen on the Uffizi, it's only 20 minutes walk!...
