I have just returned home from spending two weeks in Filippo and Alessia's apartment in Florence. The apartment was absolutely perfect for me. I was travelling alone and studying Italian at Scuola Di Leonardo Da Vinci in the mornings and sightseeing in the afternoons. The apartment is less than 10 mins walk from the Duomo, less than 10mins walk from the Scuola, only a couple of minutes walk from the Galleria della Accademia, and 12 minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella station and same from Unità tram stop, and 5 minutes walk to Piazza San Marco where many of the buses stop (I got the bus from there to Fiesole for the evening views over the city, for example). The location is really central but not too noisy or crowded. Quite a few small supermarkets within a 5 minute walk as well. The apartment itself has been really well thought out. Although there's not a separate door to the bedroom, it's in a separate part of the apartment and feels separate from the kitchen. Filippo and Alessia have thought of every detail. The kitchen is well stocked with the basics+ (oil, salt, coffee, herbal teas, sugar) and pots, pans, cheese grater, chopping board, colander, cutlery, crockery, washing up liquid, etc. There is also a small ironing board and iron in the apartment, and there is washing liquid for the washing machine. The bathroom has a shower with a large cubicle, and there is soap and toilet roll provided. Filippo and Alessia provided a change of bed linen, towels and bathmat as I was staying at for two weeks - without me having to ask, and even offered to come and change it, although I was happy to do that myself. The apartment feels and smells fresh and the air conditioning works well and cools the apartment very quickly. Filippo and Alessia always responded very quickly to messages, before and during my stay. I would really recommend this apartment.
