If you’re seeking a place right in the heart of Firenze — shopping, nightlife, cultural sights — this spot can’t be beat. In addition to the apartment’s central position, I was impressed by Samuel and Paolo’s prompt responses to my inquiries. They allowed an early check-in, and I was met at the time they’d promised with very thorough directions on how to run the washer, use the keys, work the air conditioner, etc. As mentioned in previous reviews, it would be advisable to bring ear plugs, as the noise from a restaurant directly underneath the apartment is audible until late at night, and I was once awakened in the wee hours by a group that had seemingly been drinking before they wandered into the usually quiet courtyard. Paolo had warned me about that possibility, though, and with ear plugs it shouldn’t be an issue. Grazie mille.
