We really enjoyed our stay in Rocco and Paola’s apartment. Myself, my husband and our two children spent 5 nights there and we felt we were really lucky to have been able to stay there. The location is great. It is across the the river from the main tourist sites but within easy walking distance, even with two babies under 4 years old. The area around the apartment is well worth exploring also, and we felt that we got a better sense of Florence from this side of the river than from the area around the Duomo that is packed with hordes of tourists.
A huge bonus, considering that the apartment is in the city centre, is that it is really quiet due to it being set back from the street.
The apartment itself was stylish, comfortable and clean which is all you can ask for. Paola and Rocco were very kind and helpful with recommendations and were available for assistance if we needed it at any stage. They also reserved our taxis for us for when we needed them which was a help to us. We would have no hesitation in booking this apartment again if and when we return to Florence.
