This is the best located apartment you could hope for. It is close to the main railway station and right next door to the historical centre - within spitting distance of the Duomo, which is located near most of the other main tourist sites. We walked everywhere we went.
Apart from the location the apartment itself is very charming. The exposed beams in the ceiling and irregular walls and quirky layout (the kitchen is separate and up a couple of steps) give it real old world charm. I could imagine I was in another century.
It offers all the modern amenities (stovetop cooker, kettle, microwave, washing machine). It is in a very old (I guess that’s relative given it’s in Florence) building with a locked gate entrance, thick masonry walls and shutters in the windows. In winter, when we were there, the interior was quite dark, which made it great for sleeping. It was also quiet although it was in the centre of town.
Chiara kindly let us drop our bags off before the apartment was ready, which was very helpful as well.
We loved our stay. I hope to be back one day, but in the meantime we will recommend Chiara’s place to friends.
