We coordinated our check in and met Sylvia at the apartment; she showed us around and how to open the various doors. The furnishings in the apartment are very modern, and there is a nice table on the balcony that we thoroughly enjoyed. A huge plus of this apartment is the fact that there is a parking spot for our rental car, so we did not mind the 15-20 min walk to the center of Florence. Another great thing about the apartment is the A/C, very welcome during the hot Tuscan summer. We were also able to cook meals both nights in the apartments and wash our clothes (bring your own detergent). One minor concern is that the floors seemed a little dirty (some dirt remained on our feet if we did not wear socks around the apartment). Overall, great value and a good home base for exploring Florence.
