Fabrizo made us feel welcome by meeting us at the train station which is about a 10 minute walk from the apartment. We appreciated this because it alleviated any stress about trying to find the apartment. He also gave us a map of Florence. He lives only 15 minutes from the apartment.
The apartment is even more beautiful than the pictures. The high ceilings, natural light, excellent design and use of space give it a wonderful feeling. The quality of the mattresses are like a 5 star hotel. The location of the apartment is excellent. We walked everywhere. I enjoyed being able to buy the wonderful bread, butter cheese, eggs and vegetables at the Central Market that was less than a 5 minute walk from the apartment to prepare our breakfast in the morning. Staying here was so much nicer than staying at a hotel. We felt very fortunate. There are many good restaurants nearby. Our favorite was Le Fonticine via Nazionale 79. If we come to Florence again we would love to be able to stay in this apartment again.
