Lovely, clean apartment with quirky and stylish design. We stayed for a month.
Pros
+ lovely garden with shade
+ very clean
+ the separate laundry room was amazing
+ WiFi was great
+ the bed was comfortable with nice linen
+ the toiletries
+ cooling: the fan (used daily) and aircon (used sparingly because of the cost of electricity) we’re both lifesavers as Italy is experiencing a heatwave
+ transport: the number 6 bus and tram are very nearby and both get you in and out of the city at every hour of the day. Although we got the Ride Mobi app and cycled mostly which was fun!
Cons
- the mosquitoes are intense, bring mosquito spray. You’ll need it (this is a Florence thing, not just the apartment)
- there is an issue with damp in the apartment, but we mentioned this to Maria Rita at the beginning of our stay and I imagine she will try to get it fixed
- the immediate neighbourhood is quiet, but we really enjoyed Caffe Giorgio - 7 minute walk (go there, you will thank us!), pizza and delicious antipasti at L’artigiano Trattoria - 2 minute walk and Caffetteria Mavi for coffee and pastries and having an aperitivo at La Limonaia - they were having a food festival.
Overall we recommend this apartment in Florence, especially a longer stay.
