You cannot find nicer people than Silverio and Antonella. I have been visiting Florence for over 20 years and after many apartments, this is the nicest one I have found. It is on the ground floor with a beautiful courtyard. Inside there is a loft with a single bed or sitting area. The bedroom is spacious and bright. The kitchen and living areas are connected and very well designed. The bathroom is large by Italian standards and very comfortable. The place was spotless when I arrived and when my friends and I left we tried to leave it as clean as possible. The neighborhood is just east of the Sant'Ambrogio district, across the Amendola thoroughfare. This makes it very accessible to the historic district but not swarmed with tourists like many other places that I have rented in the past. The neighborhood also has a great grocery store (COOP) 2 blocks north, plus many interesting small shops along the main retail street to the east of the apartment. I would stay here whenever I am in Florence if the place is available. Best hosts EVER !!!
