We loved the Halfway Suite. After about two weeks of staying in hotels from Rome to Bologna, it was wonderful to have a flat to ourselves to use as a base for exploring the city of Florence. It is perfectly located, close enough to easily walk to all the sites while situated on a quieter side street. The flat is nestled on the interior looking out on a common courtyard, making it a quiet and serene sanctuary. The courtyard is behind a locked door so we felt very safe here. The host met us on check-in and made us feel very much at home. We very much appreciated the snacks and drinks (including a very nice bottle of wine) the host provided for us. In a very entertaining presentation, we got an overview of Florence, details on the flat, and local recommendations for dining and shopping. The flat was well stocked, more like a home away from home than a vacation rental. It was immaculately clean and extremely comfortable, especially the large bed with memory foam pillows. The bathroom was very functional, with a large shower and a wonderful rain style shower head. It was especially nice to have a washer/dryer right in the unit so we didn't have to find a laundromat. The half bath off the bedroom was also very convenient so we could both get ready quickly in the mornings. Our stay at the Halfway Suite was the perfect way to end our vacation in Italy and we will always have fond memories of our time there.
