This apartment is amazing! I stayed here for two months while doing graduate research and it was perfect. Not far from Santa Croce, the location is great—close to major sights and the Arno but also quieter than comparable locations. The apartment has been recently remodeled (literally everything), has a full kitchen (new appliances) with fridge, oven, range, microwave and all the necessary cookware and essential spices you need to cook. If you prefer, there are plenty of restaurants, sandwich shops and gelateria close by as well. The apartment is larger than I expected, with high ceilings and lots of windows to allow in natural light. It was spotlessly clean. Also, the wifi strength/bandwidth is EXCELLENT!!! Nato and Elisabetta were very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. Thoughtful touches such as fresh fruit and crostini waiting for me, as well as the inclusion of practical things such as cleaning supplies, extra towels and linens, some office supplies, guide books and the like were not only helpful but welcoming. This is a great value for all it offers. I would definitely stay here again!!!
