Perfect location, next to the Santa Croce neighborhood, easy walk to all the sites. Beautiful apartment as pictured with lovely stone floors and huge windows to let in the light and breeze during the day. Excellent kitchen with everything you could need, hosts also provided electric kettle and toaster as soon as requested. Supermarket is less than a block away and a good size. Great little square downstairs full of life and good food options for any time of day. Wonderful hosts, Caterina was very responsive. Useful English guide books and literature on Florence in the flat. Air conditioning in both rooms was very welcome, especially once the weather turned warm (May/June). As prior guests have indicated the street below is quite noisy at night time with happy young people, which could be heard from the kitchen/living area and bathroom. The master bedroom window was double glazed and so that room was quiet. We kept all the shutters, windows and internal shutters closed at night to help keep things cool and quiet. This also helped keep the sunlight out for sleeping in the morning after sunrise. Both beds were very comfortable. I very much enjoyed living here for three weeks, I was sad to leave such a perfect little apartment in the heart of Florence.
