We had a lovely warm welcome and the apartment was everything we expected it to be, clean, comfortable and well equipped. There was a restaurant across the street with a nice menu, a great bakery and a sandwich shop less than a minute away down the street and with the Duomo and other sites only a 5-10 minute walk away the location couldn't have been better, close enough to everything but far enough away from the crowds. Thank you Mattia for answering all our queries promptly and thank you Francoise for making us so welcome during our stay. All in all a memorable few days in Florence and I would thoroughly recommend this apartment as a base to explore the city for a couple or small family.
