My girlfriend and I had a brilliant three nights staying at Filippo's apartment. The location was an easy 15 minute walk from the train station and main sites of the city but also had plenty to keep us entertained nearby. Immediately to the left is a great little wine bar which serves aperitivo and to the right a fantastic restaurant (reservation recommended). Just round the corner is a brilliant pizza restaurant right on the river that is open until late and a few little shops for the essentials.
The apartment itself was lovely, far more spacious than it appears in the photos and with lovely high ceilings. It was a real calm oasis in a busy city. Clean bathroom, well appointed kitchen, comfortable sofa and the Wifi was speedy too. What more could you ask for? The steep and dark stairs are only a short flight and a phone torch is more than sufficient to navigate them. We didn't manage to tick everything off in Florence during this short stay but wouldn't hesitate to book with Filippo again. Thank you!
