This apartment was great! We traveled with our 19 yr old son to visit our daughter who was studying abroad. We ended up doors down from her apartment, but she decided to stay with us during our visit. It is exactly as it is pictured - with plenty of room for 4adults. There is a king bed in one bedroom and two twins in the second bedroom. The bedrooms are at opposite sides of the apartment, allowing for ‘space’ when one needs it (especially when traveling with teenagers). It was very clean and well maintained. There is a small balcony with a table and two chairs that was very inviting- except for the fact that we were there in November. The apartment comes with a decent size fridge (for Europe), a microwave, large toaster oven, dishwasher and a washing machine. The washing machine came in handy after a week of travel. There are no dryers in most Italian households, but a drying rack is provided.
The apartment is centrally located in the city central, making it easy to walk to many sites and museums. The train station is an easy 10-15 mins walk. The Uffizi Museum is about a 5-10 mins walk. The Duomo and Ponte Vecchio is about 10 mins walk. TONS of restaurants, cafes and shops all around. There is a small food store across the street, as well as a bus stop. If you have a car (which you really don’t need), there is a parking garage right next door. While we were here, there was a Christmas market just around the corner in the Piazza di Santa Croce. We had ate there quite a few times - delicious food and tasty mulled wine with amaretto. The city drapes many streets with Christmas lights in November and December, making the city even more magical.
Ricardo was a fantastic co-host! He regularly checked in BEFORE our trip - helping with any questions. He made our checkin easy and fast. He provided us with excellent restaurant recommendations and gave us a quick overview of the city and sights. He checked in with us via text during our stay to make sure everything was going okay. He even tried to help us schedule Covid tests for our return trip - but we found it easier to just go and wait at the pharmacy. He did make arrangements for a taxi to take us to the train station at the end of our stay. Did I mention he helped lug our heavy luggage up and down the stairs as well?
Roomy, clean, centrally located with a affordable rate! We highly recommend this apartment and hope to stay here again the next time we visit. Thank you Massimiliano and Ricardo for contributing to our amazing trip!!
