The apartment is located to the north of the city, about 20 minutes walk from the centre and well-served by public transport. We didn’t use the bikes but these are an option for longer trips. The apartment is in a quieter part of the city, feels safe and is close to an excellent supermarket and some decent and reasonably priced restaurants (Ribeo was especially good). Ideally it might have been a bit closer to the centre but not too bad.
The apartment is in a large block of buildings and shares a common entrance, but wasn’t too noisy. It was clean, well-equipped and stylish. Everything worked perfectly. It is a single room with a mezzanine bedroom but there is plenty of space to relax, though the kitchen space has limited preparation surfaces. The outside space was a disappointment; overlooked by adjacent balconies it had no direct sunlight and lots of mosquitoes. The seating all needed a good clean and we didn’t use the space as much as we had planned.
Communication was excellent, both timely and in perfect English. The owners were very flexible about check-in times which was helpful. Overall we were very happy with the accommodation which was fairly-priced and made a comfortable base for our stay in Florence. Recommended.
