We loved our stay! Filippo is AMAZING and so very helpful! He showed us where to buy groceries and catch the bus, how to shortcut (through the laundromat) and where to park. He went over and above to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The apartment is clean, spacious, and has everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook in and he even provided some toiletries for us.
There IS a bakery that opened up next door downstairs, so with the windows open you can hear them preparing food (and smell the yummy bread!) and you can also hear them load everything up outside for delivery. This happens all through the night so if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs, or if the windows are closed I do not believe it would be a problem.
I would not let that stop me from staying with Filippo again, his kindness and generosity and the beautiful, clean, convenient apartment made our stay in Florence delightful.
