This place has it all. Great location, modern touches, comfortable space, and incredible hosts.
My wife and I were traveling Europe for 2 weeks and Florence was our stop 1 week in. We were there for four nights and wanted a good place to relax and be close to everything. This delivered everywhere.
1. The location is right near the newly revitalized Central Market, which houses a very cool produce and meat market below, and an even better food court on the 2nd level. A perfect place for a late night snack or midday drink! Everything was within walking distance (train station, Duomo, shopping, river, etc. And the private entrance in between the shops and restaurants is great. Bring easy to travel with luggage as you do walk up and down stairs.
2. The apartment itself, and the hallway were impeccable. When you open the door to the private hallway you are greeted with wonderful scents and lighting to help you get to your private door. Once inside we were treated to amazing views of the square outside, a nice kitchenette, large bed, little table and chairs, and an upgraded bathroom with amazing shower. Plus we had shampoo, towels, extra things...we didn't have to buy anything. Lastly, there is a great espresso maker stocked with pods for your stay.
3. We had one small hiccup when our AC went out (it was very hot and humid during our stay and the AC was overworking), but Leonardo quickly responded by bringing in a fan and getting things fixed after a day. He really did make sure we were taken care of.
I cannot say enough about how great our stay was. The place was perfect size for us 2 and the location was great. My only suggestion...it can get loud in the square below. Bring earplugs in case you want to open the windows. You won't hear much with windows closed and as long as you stay on Italian Schedule (dinner late, breakfast late, etc) you'll be fine.
