Simona’s apartment is a hidden gem in Florence. The apartment is spotless and located in a quiet alley, the neighborhood is safe and the apartment has all amenities you need including a washer and dryer which is pretty rare to find. Most of the attractions in Florence are within walking distance from the apartment and there are some really good local restaurants, cafes, bars and gelato shops just around the corner. Lots of small shops with minutes walk to buy clothes if you don’t want to spend a lot in touristy areas. Simona has created a manual to help tourists find their way in Florence. The directions for Taxi service was incredibly helpful and precise for days when we were in time crunch. Simona is responsive, kind and helpful in responding to messages and provides the help to make the stay your comfortable. If you are a love art, history, culture, food or fashion; Florence and the entire region has everything you need. We loved Simona’s apartment and hope to be back sometime in future.
