I don’t know where to begin! We drove into Firenze and had a bit of a challenge finding the apartment. now that we have driven into Firenze we wont hesitate to drive again as we know the area very well!
Claudio was nothing less than phenomenal! He was extremely responsive to all of our communications and was very patient and helpful with directions, suggestions, and again very patient when it came to us arriving an hour late due to GPS and traffic.
His apartment is PERFECT! It is right down town and close to everything! Not only is it convenient to shopping and sights but it is extremely quiet at night! We were there over the weekend and we had the windows and the skylight open and it was peaceful and serene. The apartment has everything you would need. Although we ate out it has a complete kitchen, washing machine, clothes iron, wifi, tv, and much more. If Claudio doesn’t have it you don’t need it! One thing people should be aware though is the apartment is several stories up. There are 91 steps to climb so be prepared for a bit of hike up to the apartment.
There is endless shopping and a lot of sights to see while in Firenze. We saw many cathedrals and a few museums and again shopping but we recommend at least two places to see and they are Mercato Centrale for a great food experience and then the Piazzale Michelangelo for the most breath taking view of Firenze!
Claudio is great host, has a beautiful apartment, great location, and we will not hesitate to stay here again when we make our way back to Firenze!
