The apartment is a real gem in Florence. Amazing view and a lift! We fit two people each with a large case and a carry-on in the lift. Very secure apartment on the 6th floor in a secure building with a safe in the bedroom. Comfortable sitting areas. Very quiet for sleeping. The balcony, which was shaded most of the day, has an incredible view and is very comfortable for enjoying that view.
Extremely clean with everything needed for your stay. Paper towels, dish soap, dish washer tabs, shower gel & toilet paper were provided. Many spices and coffee also in the house.
Our host Paola speaks excellent English & is very friendly and accommodating. She promptly met us at the apartment and buzzed us in. We were greeted with a bottle of wine. She spent time showing us the apartment and provided great information for the area. A mobile phone was provided for us to use if we needed to contact her. During our week she checked several times through Air B&B to see if we needed anything. Her husband, Alfredo kindly offered to help us with our luggage to the train station.
Very near the river with a 15 minute walk to most sites. There are plenty of bakeries, restaurants and shops in the area. Fresca Pasta Moroni is 3 minutes away for fresh pasta and sauce to cook at home. Piccioli bakery has great biscotti and pastries. Many restaurants nearby, but our favorite is Osteria Centopoveri. It's a good idea to make a reservation. We loved the apartment, highly recommend it and would return again. Perfect location to enjoy Florence.
