We had an excellent stay at this apartment for one month. The AC works very well, which is not the case for most of Florence, the gas stove microwave sink and drying counter area were put to good use in the kitchen, and the bathroom had readily available hot and cool water with an adequately sized shower equipped with shampoo and body wash. The location was perfect for my friend and me, two students studying Italian at LdM. It’s just outside the center of the city where all the tourists and tourist prices are. Our side of the river has cheaper food, fewer tourists, and less noise at night. Only downside is no couch but we didn’t mind much.
