We loved our stay at Saveria’s apartment! The room is spacious and nicely decorated, with a very comfortable bed, a beautiful modern bathroom and large windows that open up to a wonderful view. It also has a kitchen and a table and chairs, which was a very nice surprise. When you Google it, you might notice that it’s on a busy street, but we liked the activity and sounds of Florence, and with the windows closed, it’s completely quiet. It also has air conditioning, which was wonderful in that Florence heat! It’s about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the train station, depending on how many bags you have, and there is an elevator in the building, which is a nice plus. We asked if we could drop off our bags early in the day, and although Saveria was at work, the couple who looks after the building let us in and even served us a cold drink! We went off to explore- an easy walk from the apartment to the heart of the old city- and when we came back to officially check in, Saveria’s nephew showed us around the apartment, set us up with the keys, and even recommended a good pizza place nearby. We went back out at night to see the landmark sights lit up, and felt completely safe walking there and back. We really enjoyed meeting Saveria the next morning, to thank her for her hospitality—we would definitely stay here again!
