This is an amazing apartment in an amazing location. My wife, daughter and myself stayed only two nights and wish it had been longer! Francesca was amazing in advance of our stay with easy and fast communication as well as being very gracious when we were a little later than originally anticipated due to our difficulty in parking. As a tip to anyone driving to Florence, we parked in a lot where the Hertz car rental office is at Via Sansovino, directly opposite the tram line, caught the tram to Santa Maria Novella train station [about 10 minutes and 1.50 Euro], then a 600m walk to the apartment. The parking was 12 Euro per 24hr period, which was the best rate I could find online.
Everything is an easy walk from the apartment [except perhaps the walk up the hill to Piazzale Michelangelo - but that is more to do with the hill and my fitness than the distance...still very worth it though].
The apartment itself is amazing. Very nicely renovated and very spacious. If we ever return to Florence [which we intend to do] we would definitely love to stay here again!
Thank you Rosa and especially Francesca!
