Simone welcomed us with a warm smile and helped us with our bags up to his beautiful apartment. The apartment was exactly as advertised and the photos were a great representation of the space. The apartment was perfectly located, within the bustle of the city and easy walking distance to everything you want to see if Florence. Keep in mind that being close to restaurants and a piazza means that it can be a bit noisy into the evening, but ideally, you're out enjoying the nightlife anyway and so will be a part of the action! Be certain to have Simone show you how to turn on the timed hallway lights as they are not automatically on in the evening and the halls can be quite dark. Simone was incredibly helpful with recommendations for restaurants and where to find groceries. He made a special point of telling us that we should see the apartment as our home for our time there and we certainly felt that way! Many thanks Simone!!
