Bernardo was a wonderful host, and the apartment was perfect for our stay in Florence. Bernardo was very responsive and met us at the apartment to walk us through everything, right as we showed up. It was fairly short walk from the train station to get there, and we had no problem walking around the city from the location.
First off, the house is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful windows that open up to street below. Huge shower with two shower heads. King bed that was very comfortable. A big open living room space with a TV, and kitchen with all the amenities to cook in. We never cooked a full dinner there, but did make some bread and appetizers before going out to a typical 10 PM Italian dinner one night. The only item I would caution on with this place, is the AC is very old, and doesn't cool down the space very well. This is pretty typical in Italy in our experience, as a lot of places don't blast AC the way we do in America. But it was very warm at night trying to fall asleep, and required us to open windows, and use the fan that is provided in the apartment. This was probably a little more important to us, due too the fact that it was the middle of July and highs were in the 90's while we were visiting Florence. However, other than being a little hot at times, our stay was wonderful. The apartment really is beautiful and made us feel like we were living in Florence, not just visiting. Would highly recommend!
