I couldn't have asked for anything more from our stay at Teresa's apartment in Florence. It was a quick and easy walk from the train station, and close to all major sights. Teresa left a care package of fruit, juice, muffins and a bottle of wine, which was very lovely. The apartment itself was spacious, clean and comfortable--perfect for our five night stay. There was a grocery store a couple doors down, which was convenient for picking up small odds and ends throughout the week. With a longer stay, it was great to be able to use Teresa's washing machine (no dryer, but a drying rack, so no problem there)!

The only two considerations I would point out that weren't an issue for us, but I could see posing a problem for some would be morning street noise and the water pressure. I live in a big city, so the noise didn't bother me at all, and I honestly didn't notice it until I was awake and making coffee in the kitchen, but if you're sensitive to noise in the morning, I could see that being a concern. And while I've certainly come across places with weaker water pressure while traveling, I would say you could plan to spend some extra time rinsing your hair, ladies.

That's a very small note, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Teresa's apartment again, or recommend it to any friends or family visiting Florence.
