The apartment is in prime location, with a supermarket just down the road and the amazing l'brindellone restaurant 5 minutes away. The flat has a terrace and the view is so nice and the pictures don't do the apartment justice. The apartment is located on the other side of the river where it is away from tourist and in a more Italian area. the restaurants on this side are more authentic and has hardly any tourists and you will be eating and living like a local! Leila was such an amazing host and so experienced! She told us about the tourist tax so we won't be shocked when we got there and gave us instructions on how to get there and a map with all the hotspots are! she let us use the washing machine, leaving us cheese and water and olive oil and various pasta and herbs for us to cook. The kitchen has pretty much everything you need, we ate out once a day and mostly cooked from the fresh ingredients in the market or the shop down the road. After walking around the old part of the city full of different tourists, its so nice to come back to a quieter neighbourhood where you feel less like a tourist and more like a local!
THIS PLACE IS A MUST! JUST GO! only down side is that there is no wifi so you need to chill in cafes and pubs to get some but if you plan ahead and know what you are doing you don't really miss it. it only gives you more reasons to go outside and experience Florence than staying in the apartment watching netflix cause you are tired!!
