Ilaria’s apartment is lovely. It is very large, comfortably furnished and provided
everything our group of four friends needed and more - there is even an electric kettle, an essential for the British holidaymaker but all too rarely found. As well as all the kitchen equipment and other necessities, everything was provided, even a sewing kit and a selection of phone and tablet chargers. And a really delightful surprise was the luxurious towelling bathrobes in every bedroom to snuggle into after a shower.
The location was ideal, a short walk from all the sights - including the Duomo, the Accademia, Medici chapels and the central market. A very good supermarket Pam was close by and the local buses for a Fiesole and Piazzale Michaelangelo stopped 50 yards down the road.
We experienced no problems with traffic noise : once the windows and shutters were closed for the night all we heard was a gentle swooshing from passing vehicles, which was actually soothing rather than intrusive.
An excellent apartment and very kind and helpful hosts. We would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient home from home in Florence.
