We stayed in Andrea's Historic apartment in Santa Croce. it was our first visit to Florence and it was the perfect location. All the big sights are on our door step and in your neighbourhood. It really does feel like you are living in the City, you are a local.

Andrea was waiting for us, received us warmly and was very friendly. He explained perfectly where we were and answered our questions. So kind and a lovely touch that he had left a bottle of wine for us, a can of beer and bottled water.

The apartment is incredible, it's got so much character that you feel you are in a movie. The low ceiling beams, the historic old kitchen, the flagstone floors and kitchen sink are things we've never seen before. Incredible. The apartment is very large and very spacious for the 2 of us, if you are a family it would be ideal too. We loved it.

The bathroom is perfectly equipped and the even a washing machine too. The shower worked very well. The bedroom was huge and the bed very comfortable and bed linen of a very high quality. We loved all the antique furniture in the apartment and attention to detail.

Within a 20 second walk from either the front or back entrance you can see an historic sight, great location. Andrea had left us with a comprehensive guide of places to eat, drink, shop, visit, travel to etc. which was very helpful. We ate at 3 of his recommended places to eat and were impressed with all!

If you are planning a trip to Florence I would recommend to stay here, it is very unique and if you like history, interesting spaces, antiques and grand buildings, you will love this apartment.

We will stay again.
