Alessio kindly met me at SMN train station and waited for me when my bus arrived late from Pisa. Thanks!! He was very friendly and cheerful and welcomed me into the apartment. The apartment is exactly as described in the listing and was clean, comfortable and cosy with everything you need to relax after a long day enjoying the beauty of Florence. The bed is sooooooo comfortable with memory foam topper and memory foam pillows. There was occasional noise from the street at the weekend(only as people walk by talking) but we had a fantastic night's sleep every night because the bedroom is at the back of the apartment. The location is perfect-less than 5 minutes from the Duomo and all attractions are within 10 minutes walk. Ideal to nip back home to make lunch and it really does feel homely, which is exactly what we wanted. Communication with Sabrina and Alessio was great-they really care that their guests are happy. Also, this place is excellent value for money, compared to other similarly priced apartments in the same area. It is clear they have put alot of effort into creating a tasteful, homely environment with everything you need. There is no view from the front of the apartment but that really doesn't matter at all, as we simply enjoyed the apartment as a place to relax. It's a little sanctuary and very quiet. The area felt very safe and the central market with its' amazing foodhall upstairs is only one minute's walk away. Thanks for such a wonderful stay. They were also able to arrange a late check out for us which we really appreciated. We would love to stay here again! I highly recommend this perfectly homely little apartment :)
