The location of the apartment is perfect, about a 5 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella Station, and right next to Centrale Mercato and the San Lorenzo Markets.
The apartment itself is on the top floor of a 14th century building and there's about 60 steps to climb to the top floor, and overlooks the Piazza.
Annalisa and Leonardo were able to let me check-in early and Leonardo carried my suitcase up the stairs for me. I couldn't have done it without him.
The apartment is compact but makes good use of the space. The aircon is located upstairs and keeps the upstairs area comfortable. It doesn't reach downstairs, so you might want to see about getting some firewood if you are there in the colder months and feel the cold. The Scottish pub downstairs can get a bit noisy, so light sleepers should take their earplugs!
Annalisa and Leonardo were always very quick to and thorough with their communications, the apartment is in a great location and is represents good value for money.
Leonardo arrived at the agreed time and apart from carrying my suitcase, gave me a good overview of the apartment and the surrounding area.
A lovely place to spend a week in Florence!
