You know the place is new when the smell of fresh paint makes a strong first impression! Jeffrey was so kind to spend some time giving us useful tips - places to visit and have a meal.
Everything was functionally comfortable. Plus it’s really convenient to have a Carrefour Express directly opposite. Internal heating is regulated at 21 degrees celsius, so the additional heating from the air-conditioning units was a huge relief for wintry days. Be prepared for the strong smell of chlorine from the water.
It was a challenge to lug bags from Florence SMN station through the narrow uneven streets while dodging people and cars (on a rainy day, it’s an even bigger challenge). Thankfully the 2 flights of stairs up to the apartment were manageable; anyway I had checked with Brittany prior to booking, so I was prepared for the hike.
The spacious living area was useful luggage space for our big bags.
