Lapo’s place is a great option for your travels in Florence. It is in a safe area - kind of like the equivalent of 5th Avenue in NY around all of the fancy shops. The apartment is very spacious and felt like home. Washer and dryer in unit is great and works well - just a note that the dryer takes a little longer to dry clothes - and don’t use the washer and dryer at the same time as any other electric devices. We had an issue where the power went out while we were doing laundry but Lapo was great about responding quickly to help us get it back on. The guide book provided was awesome - try to go to Mamma Gina’s if you can for a meal - excellent food! This apartment is on the third floor and the main bed is up one more flight of stairs inside the unit - so be prepared to burn off all the pasta and gelato calories!
