I spent three months (March 2-May 29, 2014) in this lovely, spacious apartment. It was comfortable for my long stay. Elisa, and her parents (Angelo and Angela) were warm, gracious and generous with suggestions and making me feel comfortable throughout my stay. The pictures accurately portray the apartment living quarters. The bathroom was cozy but adequate for me (as I was alone), but candidly can be small quarters if there are two people trying to get ready at the same time. The location is perfect--very close to the Piazza Santa Croce, nearby taxi stop, short walk to the Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, Bargello and Duomo and easy access to the Oltrano over the Ponte alle Grazie. There are neighborhood restaurants, laundry mats (with washer/dryer), great gelato (Carrera) and there is a nearby Conad (supermarket) 4 blocks away and a Mail Box Etc. 2 blocks away if you find yourself buying more things than you can carry home in your suitcase. The location is ideal, however, be forewarned that the area around the apartment is very much alive with young people, primarily US students that tend to hang out in the nearby bars and return home late (3am and 4am) and talk loudly as they exit the bars. The city of Florence reverberates with noise, and the window (easily viewable in the pictures of the apartment) is not soundproof--so bring earplugs. If you leave the window open, you will hear the noise even more loudly. Having said this, I would still rent this apartment again and hope to do so next year. It is clean, well-maintained and equipped. I bought a few things that made the kitchen more useable for me (steamer, vegetable peeler, plastic containers for left-overs, but generally speaking everything you need for simple cooking is there. If you are making Thanksgiving dinner or wanting to make your own biscotti's, you may be challenged. The kitchen is serviceable and works for breakfast, lunch and easy light meals. The refrigerator/freezer is large enough to hold all you'd need, along with cupboard space nearby. The bed is firm, with good support and comfortable, and I added a mattress topper to make it just a little bit more cushy, which I left with the the apartment. I will return to this clean and comfortable refuge again. If you choose to stay here, you will be glad you did. Its about as comfortable, clean and modern you will find in Florence in a location that will be accessible to all the things you need, within walking distance. And your hosts will make it very comfortable and welcoming for you. Buon divertimento!
