We thoroughly enjoyed our one-month stay in this spacious, quiet, practical and conveniently located apartment. The apartment is a short walk from the historical center, but far enough away to avoid the crowds. There are a couple of grocery stores just a few minutes away, making it easy to pick up food to cook at home. The heat and A/C both worked great so it was easy to get comfortable even with the shifting weather. Claudia was very responsive and helpful. The extra room upstairs was useful as a home office for occasional remote work meetings (and we appreciated the fast wifi). The apartment has an “old world charm” as one reviewer put it – rustic yet updated with all necessary amenities. Our only complaint was that some of the furniture and other amenities showed signs of wear, and could have been freshened up a bit -- for example, we never felt like sitting in the sofa or the arm chair, due to the old, worn and faded cushions. But we didn’t come to Florence to sit on the couch, so it really didn’t matter in the end!
