A TRUE GEM!!
There are not enough wonderful things we can say about this apartment, its location, and Michele and Elena's hospitality!
Michele helped us arrive and depart the apartment, which was so thoughtful and appreciated. He gave us wonderful ideas and suggestions for restaurants and things to visit around the city.
There was shampoo available in the showers, and hair dryers to use too. If you want to wash clothes, there is a washer and a rack/line to dry everything - just plan enough time to let the clothing hang dry.
The pictures are accurate - it is truly a beautiful home! Everything you need is there, and it's spacious and decorated beautifully - very relaxing, and accommodates many people. We had a family of 5, and it was more than enough space for us! So nice to have 3 bathrooms as well!
The location is IDEAL!! It was a 3 minute walk (or less) to the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Museo de Galileo, Palazzo de Vecchio, and just a 7-10 minute walk to the Duomo. So easy to walk everywhere and see most everything!
The one thing to just be aware of is the apartment is two levels above the ground floor, which is 4 short flights of stairs. Not a problem, and Michele helped us with our bags. But if you struggle with stairs, you would need to take it slowly and be aware of the climb. It's so worth it though!!
We will come again - we cannot wait! And we are recommending this to all our friends and family! There's no other place we want to stay when in Florence!
