This place is BRAND NEW! It has all the smells of new construction, and all the touches and furniture are new! It has two air conditioning units, so it was plenty cool for the warm summer months. And—a dishwasher! The hosts are beyond amazing! They are so quick to respond, they have the best recommendations of local spots, the check in and check our process was super simple, everything about Elena & Oliver is top-notch. They do a great job. They even left a bottle of wine to start off our stay (and some light breakfast snacks too). They replied to questions both day and night and were always available. It’s a great spot, very very centrally located in Florence, with great bars and bakeries all around. It’s about a 15 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio—so close. It is also very close to the train station (an 8€ taxi ride from the train station to the apartment). Everything about this apartment is great!
