The apartment is very spacious and bright. We were in Florence for 10 days, so having plenty of room to lounge around after a day of touring was wonderful. There is a grocery store across the street which is super convenient, and a delicious gelateria nearby. There's a coffee shop 20 yards from the apartment (Bar Italiano), but it is ridiculously over-priced -- avoid it! Because we were going to be in Florence for a week and a half, we chose this apartment based on the description in the listing: a lift, two bedrooms, veranda, bathtub. Unfortunately, this was not the case. As other reviewers have noted: the description Cosimo provides is confusing and does not accurately match the apartment (although the photos do). In addition, the apartment was certainly not stocked as "guest-ready", ie, only one bar of soap, no handsoap in the kitchen, no tissue, no paper towels, no trashbags, very few kitchen supplies for cooking or even reheating something in the oven. (Good thing Conad was across the street to buy our own supplies!). Cosimo responded quickly to inquiries while we were booking, but we didn't hear anything from him during our stay. In summary: size of space and convenient location warrants 5 stars; overall experience was 3 stars.
