I couldn’t think of a better place to explore the beautiful city of Florence. Even though the terrace with the amazing view is the definite highlight, the whole flat was nothing short of delightful. Via di Mezzo is a quiet street, ideally situated (about 10-15 mn away from the cathedral, 10 mn to Sant’ Ambrogio Market, 5 mn to Florence’s best sorbet maker - i Cugini - and best bistecca - La carbonata). There’s everything you need also to run errands within a short distance (supermarket, pharmacy, butcher’s, etc.).
We were greeted by Michele who was very kind and responsive throughout the stay and showed us everything we needed to know. The flat is fully functional with two bathrooms. It’s also very big and one definitely feels like you have a lot of room to breathe and live. The decoration is minimal but very thoughtful with beautiful furniture and very nice reproductions on the wall.
The attic gets hot as all attics do but with the AC, facing the heatwave in the heart of Summer was a walk in the park. The kitchen is a bit tiny for two people but with a bit of organization, we were able to cook many delicious meals in the flat and eat them on the terrace. The dishwasher and washing machine both worked perfectly.
All in all, this was a dream stay and I can only recommend it to those who want to take the time to enjoy Florence as a local.
