You really can’t beat the proximity to the center of Florence, it was just off the main street and a 3min walk to the Duomo. What a magnificent area to stay in, with lots of shops and restaurants and all Florence has to offer at your front door. There is even a supermarket right next door that is perfect for stocking up on wine and snacks for after dinner.
The building is ancient but the apartment has been beautifully renovated and had everything my group of 4 could hope for. The bedrooms were comfortable and well decorated, and the little outside area was a nice addition (though we did not use it much with the weather). The kitchen was small but functional and my friend slept on the pull out couch and was comfortable enough to sleep in every day ha!
Francesca met me for check-in and was very kind and helpful and had an entire binder of recommendation for us. She was very responsive as we updated her on our train arrival and battled rain and traffic to try to get us into the apartment quickly. A terrific host.
