My husband and I were recently in Florence, and during our stay we rented this apartment.

The host, Giovanni, was extremely friendly. gracious and helpful, he offered to meet us outside of the city walls as many streets you can't drive on, unless you have a special permit. Giovanni's English was better than he thinks.

The apartment was located in a perfect area, we were just a couple minutes walk from Piazza De La Croce, and although we were close to everything the apartment was located in a nice and quiet street. The apartment was big and had everything we needed. The only thing not working which was not a huge deal was the TV. WIFI sometimes faltered, but overall worked great.

I would highly recommend this property (keep in mind that there are no elevators so not ideal for someone with mobility issues), or heavy luggage :-)

Around the corner was one of the best Trattoria's we found (we ate here twice) Trattoria Anita (lovely family run business, and the food was amazing), but there's no shortage of amazing restaurants, Bottega's and convenience stores and to-go food spots - Be sure to visit Finesterra the most amazing Bakery/Pastry place we found in Florence, located across from the Piazza de la Croce.

We definitely recommend this place, we would return here without hesitation.
