What a great apartment in Florence. It was just perfect for two people. The porch/garden with retractable awning made an additional living area for us during the wonderful April/May weather. The apartment is on the ground floor, but inside from the street, so no street noises to worry rest. Furnishings are the higher end IKEA items. The mattress seemed new and was comfortable. The location was great- only a couple of blocks from Santa Croce; a minute walk to a sweet cafe for coffees, less than 10 minutes to a large grocery store. We cooked most of our meals right there. The oven was great and the refrigerator was large. Rosaria greeted us and even took us around the neighborhood. I am in my 60's, but found the walk easy from the last stop of the tram from the airport...about 25 minutes (if you don't have lots of luggage) It is on the same street as the Bargello. For the non-European travelers, note that the apartment building numbers are in BLUE; we first went to a commercial place that had the same number. The actual apartment was another couple of blocks. The washer was great Sometimes, I would take the clean laundry to the laundramat two blocks away to dry. Such an easy place to live. We would DEFINITELY recommend.
