If you've been looking for a really unique and charming place to stay in Firenze, congratulations, because your search is over! Travelling with my sister in Italy for 2 and a half weeks, we were just looking for a good spot to stay at a good price, close to all of the main sites. Well, we found that, and a WHOLE lot more at Pietro's apartment!! Located at the top of an old historical building, you will find absolute peace and tranquility here, with amenities galore, including a full kitchen, dining room, a super cute private bedroom, a large sectional couch PLUS a very comfortable pull-out futon for extra guests. There are skylights throughout which makes the apartment glow by day, yet clever pull-down covers to make you feel as if you are in a cave of absolute darkness at night! Or, leave the skylight open and look up at the stars. It was actually raining most of the time we were there, and that is when the apartment is especially peaceful: the gentle pattering of raindrops trickling down the old ceramic tiled roof sinks your body and mind into total relaxation. There is even a perfectly positioned window to take in a very unique glance at the Duomo. Our hosts, Pietro, and his girlfriend, Allessandra, were beyond welcoming. Our train was delayed by half an hour (with no reception to let them know we were late), and yet there they were there at the entrance to the main doors (standing outside in the rain), with warm smiles to greet us! They gave us a full run-down of the place, introduction to Firenze, and fantastic travel tips and suggestions, including some incredibly delicious restaurants, some of which are just steps from the apartment! The internet went out once during our 3-night stay, but Pietro was very quick to respond and resolved the issue promptly. It's hard to find anything negative about the place, although I would caution those with extreme mobility issues (i.e. those in wheelchairs, walkers, etc.), as the elevator shaft is narrow and there are eventually tall steps upon entering the apartment door on the 3rd floor. Otherwise, you should have absolutely no problems. Pietro's place is immaculately clean, well appointed with fresh bedsheets, linens, towels and basic toiletry, etc. It is charming beyond belief, especially for those couples seeking a very romantic get-away (or those looking to become more popular on Instagram lol). Either way, you will fall in love with Pietro's place and wish it were your apartment! Grazie mille Pietro e Allessandra per tutto!! Alla prossima! :)
