What an amazing experience staying at Fabio's flat in the Santa Maria Novella neighborhood! There were two of us, my best friend and I shared this apartment for 4 days while in Florence. The pictures for this listing are very accurate; the apartment is clean, SPACIOUS, and equipped with everything one may need throughout your stay. Towels, iron, hair dryer, washer- plus a fold-out clothing rack for drying- also, shampoo/conditioner and other toiletries ect.
Fabio's sister Isabella was promptly waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived at our coordinated check-in time. (She is such a light by the way...we loved her!!) She made us feel so welcome and took a generous amount of time to go through a binder filled with some of her favorite suggestions as far as restaurants, gelato shops, cool areas etc.
The apartment is in the perfect location. Firenze is a walking city anyway; everything is very close, yet even after venturing off to different areas and neighborhoods exploring the entire city, I stand by this location!! It's great that it's also less than a 10 minute walk to the train station! It's perfect. Very safe area.
Thank you Fabio and Isabella!! When I return to your city I look forward to staying here again. :)

HIGHLY recommend this apartment!!
