What a truly lovely experience staying at Oliver's Flat was! Beatrice and her husband Giacomo are gracious hosts - very warm and welcoming and will provide all the information you need. Beatrice was extremely responsive to all messages and I felt she really wanted to ensure we enjoyed our stay in Florence. Some of Giacomo's family live in the upstairs apartments and Aunt Grace was very kind to help us when we needed some transport on an occasion. The flat is a home away from home; spacious, immaculate, comfortable and beautifully decorated. You'll love coming home to the comfy couch, cosy beds, waking up to the chirping birds and taking your morning coffee in the outdoor court area. The location of the flat is in a safe suburban area and is a 12 minute bus ride into central Florence (you can walk it). Don't be worried about taking transport; it was frequent and all very easy to navigate and added to the authentic experience of living in Florence. I happily recommend Oliver's Flat and hosts Beatrice and Giacomo and would return myself without hesitation. Grazie mille for a wonderful stay.
