2 friends staying for vacation / tourism.
Main notes:
- Public transport in this area not very reliable. Buses come regularly but not to schedule and can be confusing to work out routes back (however alright once you get the hang of them!)
- Taxi cost us 18 euro to get from main train station to apartment (off-season, not peak hour, and didn't haggle price, so may be different for others)
- Bathroom was big and comfortable. No full length mirrors, but one big one at chest height. Heated towel rack. Towels (nice and big), shampoo, shower gel and conditioner provided.
- Kitchen well supplied, including nutmeg, chilli flakes, salt, pepper, and nesquik (chocolate milk powder).
- Dishwasher didn't clean things well but we may have used the wrong liquid (no English instructions for that).
- Very helpful folder with info about buses, taxi number and house details.
- Plenty of storage space for clothes.
- 20 minute walk towards town to a Carrefour express (small convenience store) or in the opposite direction to an Esselunga (large supermarket). Buses came fairly regularly, making these more of a 5 minute trip (1,50 euro for 90 minutes bus ride)
All in all a wonderful time and we would definitely recommend. Valentina seemed very lovely when she greeted us at check-in, and we didn't hear from her after that but knew we could get in contact if we needed anything. Check-out was a simple 'leave the keys on the bench and lock the door behind you'. If you're staying in Florence for 4 or more days I would definitely choose this apartment!
