Cosmea, Diana, and her team made our stay in Florence extra special! Cosmea is located on a quiet street at the top of the building (two or three full flights of stairs), which makes it very quiet both during the day and in the evening. There is no elevator, however you spend much of your time in Italy walking up and down stairs while touring, so it really becomes easier each day, almost second nature. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything you could need/want for a short or long stay: dresser/closet for clothing storage, extra blankets, microwave, coffee maker, brita (this is important - will explain later), dishes/glasses/silverware/bottle opener, terrace for enjoying meals/drinks at home, adapters, and an incredibly detailed book on what to see/do/eat while staying in Florence. The Brita was key as water is always bottled and you'll find yourself spending a good amount of money on it daily. We would refill our water bottles with the Brita before heading out for the day, which probably saved us at least 10 euros daily (I drink a lot of water). Diana was quick with communication, helpful, and suggested and booked a day tour for us. She was incredibly understanding and flexible when we checked and I forgot to leave the city tax. The location was perfect: the grocery store around the corner had great meat, cheese, and wine options for enjoying on the terrace, which had an amazing view of the city. You can walk to everything and I recommend enjoying the Pitti area on your side of the bridge. We hope to return soon!!
