I seldom leave reviews on sites but credit has to be given where it's due! Giulia very kindly greeted us at the main Florence SMN station and it was no more than a 5 min walk to hers which was very ideal. The location therefore itself for us was absolutely perfect. It was a 10 min walk to the main duomo square and centre area and within 20-25 mins walk you could be the other side by santa croce cathedral etc. It was just a few mins to get to the arno river and walk along it towards the ponte vecchio. There were several car rental companies close by (i mention because we required it) and this was all whilst being a relatively quiet area compared to the centre area and it seemed more 'local,' which we very much enjoyed (there are supermarkets, restaurants etc nearby if staying local). The flat itself was extremely nice; modern yet with old school family touches and everything worked perfectly (kitchen has everything you need too if you plan to cook). Do not underestimate the little terrace because we ended up eating breakfast/having evening wine everyday as it was perfect to just enjoy the setting and indulge :) Giulia herself was amazing too, whether it be the communication, information and in particular going the extra mile for us in getting some things for us. I would highly, highly recommend this place and we ourselves look forward to being back there asap!
