Both the host Sandra and the apartment are lovely. We had a great week in Florence and really felt at home in the apartment. It had everything we needed including a kitchen totally set up to cook, make coffee and relax. Even though the apartment is on a street with lots of shops, noise isn't an issue because the bedrooms are in the back.
There's a view of the tower of Palazzo Vecchio from the kitchen window and everything in the "centro storico" is within walking distance, and it's a quick walk to the Arno and Ponte Vecchio as well.
The bunk beds were a hit with my 8yo as well as the quick walk to the Loggia and the view of the lively neighborhood from the window. There is a great artisanal coffee place, and at least 4 amazing places to get fresh panini including a "bollito" sandwich.
I've been to Florence several times for extended stays and this is one of my favorite neighborhoods.
Sandra is a lovely person and a great host and was always helpful with quick answer if we had questions. We definitely recommend a stay at her place!
